Gosnell Got “Snipping” Idea From Partial-Birth Abortion Inventor

by Steven Ertelt

Abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell has drawn national attention for his gruesome method of killing babies in an abortion-infanticide procedure that involves “snipping” their necks with medical scissors.

The idea of jabbing scissors into the back of necks of babies shortly after their forced induced birth sounds like something out of a creep science fiction film. The reality is, as one pro-life blogger has put together, the idea came from an Ohio abortion practitioner in a paper presented to the National Abortion Federation. In 1992, abortion practitioner Martin Haskell wrote a seminal paper presenting the new partial-birth abortion method, which has since been banned nationally and in dozens of states.

 Haskell is often credited with inventing partial-birth abortions. He technically did not come up with that gruesome abortion method but was one of the earliest adopters of it and made it popular with the seminal paper.

NAF is a “respected” trade association of independent abortion clinics that do a large percentage of the abortions in the United States. It’s the organization that knew of Gosnell’s horrors and did nothing. The NAF-Haskell-Gosnell connection is pretty clear.
