An immediate investigation of late-term abortions in Pennsylvania is paramount to ensuring the health and safety of women and their children, according to the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, the Keystone State affiliate of National Right to Life.
In a recent podcast by journalists Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, Jim Wood, the detective who helped put abortionist and serial killer Kermit Gosnell behind bars, said, “There are probably other Kermit Gosnells out there.”
Gosnell was convicted of murdering three newborn babies and causing the death of a female immigrant patient, Karnamaya Mongar. His recent death in prison at the age of 85 has focused new attention on the House of Horrors abortion facility he operated in West Philadelphia.

Among his other crimes, Gosnell performed abortions past the legal limit of 24 weeks. Figures obtained from the PA Department of Health for 2024 show 546 abortions occurred in Pennsylvania which involved unborn babies of 21 to 23 weeks gestation.
“Are other abortionists fudging their figures to illegally perform abortions past 24 weeks? The public needs to know,” said Maria Gallagher, executive director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation.
“In the aftermath of Gosnell’s death, new questions are being raised about late-term abortions. We call on the Shapiro Administration to launch an immediate investigation of abortion centers that perform the practice late in pregnancy,” Gallagher added.
