As described in a Grand Jury report overseen by Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth
Williams, authorities uncovered an unsettling scene during a February 18, 2010,
raid of the Women's Medical Society on Lancaster Avenue.

This photo shows bags of biohazard in the basement of the clinic. According
to the report, Gosnell had arranged for a weekly pickup of biohazardous materials,
but because he failed to pay his bills, the materials piled up in the basement.

 

 

The report states that the city never approved Gosnell's plan for the removal of
infectious wastes, and Gosnell never followed through on his plan. Boxes of
biohazardous materials are seen in the basement of the clinic.

 

 

Gosnell and staff stored fetal remains in freezers at the clinic, the report states.
According to former employee Tina Baldwin, the remains were sometimes left
out: "You knew about it the next day when you opened the door Because you
could smell it as soon as you opened the door."

 

 

According to the report, Gosnell engaged in the inexplicable and unnecessary practice of
severing fetal feet and storing them in jars. Gosnell allegedly claimed that the feet were
kept as DNA samples in case of a need to prove paternity; however medical experts
 brought in to testify before the grand jury all dismissed this claim, stating that a
tiny tissue sample would be enough for a DNA sample.

 

 

The report states that the equipment at Gosnell's clinic was outdated and unsanitary. In this
photo of a procedure room at the clinic, corrosion can be seen on the osygen tank tubing.

 

 

Stains and tears are seen on this examination table in the procedure room. According
to the testimony of former employee Kareema Cross, "The rooms were dirty.
Blood everywhere. Dust everywhere. Nothing was clean."

at the clinic alongside her mother, Tina Baldwin.

 

 

A price list for procedures. Former employee Kareema Cross testified, "[for] 20 to 24 weeks,
[Dr. Gosnell] will do dilation for two days. For 23 to 24, he'll do dilation for two days
and . . . he'll go in. We'll give them the medication to put them to sleep." Abortions
past the gestational age of 24 weeks are illegal in Pennsylvania.

 

 

A price list for sedation packages. According to the report, Gosnell made at least $1.8
million per year, in addition to the money he made writing prescriptions. Authorities
say Gosnell was one of the top three prescribers of Oxycontin in Pennsylvania.

 

 

A form from Karnamaya Mongar's file at the clinic. A refugee from Bhutan, 41-year-old
Mongar spoke no English and went to the clinic with her daughter. She died on
November 19, 2009, of a fatal drug overdose delivered at the clinic. Clinic
employees Lynda Williams and Sherry West have pleaded guilty to drug
delivery resulting in death.

 

 

A locked emergency exit at the clinic. Paramedics who arrived to transport Karnamaya
Mongar to the hospital needed access to this door in order to get a stretcher into
the clinic, but, according to the Grand Jury report,
clinic staff could not find the keys.
