TITUSVILLE, FL - Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone released the following statement today after learning of the death of late-term abortionist and convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell:

“I sat right behind Kermit Gosnell during his trial in court back in 2013. He had a smirk on his face as if nothing bad were happening at all. His disconnect from his own humanity, and that of the babies and mothers he killed, is the hallmark of the abortion industry,” Pavone said.

“I have helped many abortionists come out of the abortion industry and find healing. We attempted to bring that to Gosnell but sadly, he did not make that journey. Every pro-life person should study his story and watch the film that was made about him. Let’s continue exposing the abortion industry and those who make it happen.”
