FBI Agent Recounts Raid on Gosnell Abortion Clinicoseph A. Slobodzian, Inquirer Staff Writer

The Feb. 18, 2010, raid on the West Philadelphia clinic of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, recalled FBI agent Jason Huff, was planned so agents would not encounter patients.

It was 8:30 p.m., and agents watching Gosnell confirmed that he had been working all day at a Delaware abortion clinic. When Gosnell arrived at 3801 Lancaster Ave., Huff said, agents showed him a search warrant and went inside.

"We were quite surprised when we walked in and saw what we saw," Huff told a Philadelphia jury Monday.

Far from being empty, Huff testified, the Women's Medical Society Clinic was staffed and women were "already medicated and ready for surgery."

Huff, an FBI agent for 10 years, testified for more than an hour on the first day of Gosnell's murder trial. He is to return to the witness stand when the trial resumes Tuesday.
