BATON ROUGE, La., Jan. 25, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- Operation Rescue has released an exposé detailing disturbing connections between accused murder Kermit Gosnell of Pennsylvania and the long-troubled Delta Clinic of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The connections go beyond dangerous conditions and abortion practices. Operation Rescue reveals a "web of death" between Gosnell, Eileen O'Neill, and abortion clinic owner Leroy Brinkley, who owns the Delta Clinic of Baton Rouge and the Atlantic Women's Services in Wilmington, Delaware, where Gosnell was employed one day per week. O'Neill was employed by both Gosnell and Brinkley and pretended to be a licensed physician. She was arrested with Gosnell last week.
Operation Rescue's report also reveals that intertwined in the sordid relationships is the National Abortion Federation, which claims Brinkley's shoddy Louisiana and Delaware mills as proud members.
A group of attorneys has threatened to sue the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals if it does not immediately order the Delta Clinic closed for violations that mirror squalid conditions found at Gosnell's Philadelphia abortion mill.
"Certainly Gosnell's mill is not the only 'house of horrors' in operation. He is just one of the few that has been caught," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "Horrific conditions and practices exist at most abortion clinics, and in fact, we have yet to find even one that obeys all the laws. However, we can take hope in the fact that political conditions that have ignored and covered up for abortion abuses are changing and the arrests in Philadelphia of Gosnell's band of criminals are a testament to that. However, there is still a very long way to go, as this report shows."
