Priests Name Gosnell Victims

After a jury found Dr. Kermit Gosnell guilty of three counts of murder Monday comes word from Boise’s Karen Simkins that the 45 fetuses found at Gosnell’s Philadelphia clinic have been given names by the New York-based Priests for Life. In February, I wrote about Simkins and 300 other volunteers who peacefully pray to end abortions during the 40 days of lent and 40 days before the fall election. Simkins is co-facilitator of “40 Days for Life” in Boise and a parishioner at St. Mark’s Catholic Church. She passed along a blog post from Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life. Last week, on Ascension Thursday, the group named the 45 fetuses at a ceremony in a Staten Island, N.Y., chapel/ Dan Popkey , Idaho Statesman. More here.
