◼ Judge tosses 3 murder charges against Pa. abortion doc involving babies allegedly born alive - AP
...The defense questioned testimony from staffers who said they had seen babies move, cry or breathe. McMahon argued that each testified to seeing only a single movement or breath.
“These are not the movements of a live child,” McMahon said. “There is not one piece — not one — of objective, scientific evidence that anyone was born alive.”...
And the prosecutor questioned why else Gosnell and his staff would “snip” babies if they were not born alive. The brains were intact, so it was not done to make the delivery easier, he said.
“Why would you cut a baby in the back of the neck unless you were killing it?” Cameron argued.
