In addition, Gosnell was found guilty of 21 counts of abortion on 24 week or older unborn babies. In Pennsylvania, abortions past 24 weeks are illegal unless the health of the mother is at stake.

Benjamin Clapper, Executive Director of Louisiana Right to Life commented on today's verdict, "We are glad the jury found Gosnell responsible for the deaths of these innocent babies. But the question our nation must answer still lingers: What is the difference between what Gosnell did and what happens everyday in abortion facilities across our nation? Does the birth canal grant magical rights? Where a person lives should have no bearing on who a person is and whether the person has the right to live."

Clapper continues, "Although these criminal activities did not take place at a Planned Parenthood facility, and Planned Parenthood applauded Gosnell's guilty verdict today, their own representative Alisa LaPolt Snow testified before the Florida legislature opposing a bill that would require abortionists to provide medical care for surviving infants. Babies should be protected against businesses seeking to take their life, whether in the womb or out."
