Judge: 1 trial for Pa. abortion doctor, staffers

Co-defendants of a Philadelphia abortion doctor charged with murder must stand trial with him, even if they are not charged with performing illegal abortions.

Judge Benjamin Lerner agrees with defense lawyers that the testimony will be highly emotional when Dr. Kermit Gosnell and nine clinic workers go on trial.

But he says the daughter of a patient who died and other witnesses should not have to testify twice.

Lerner on Friday denied motions from co-defendants Eileen O'Neill and Elizabeth Hampton to be tried separately.

1. This guy/staff killed liveborn premies. Not simply "abortion doctor".

Damn back alley abortionist needs to spend serious time in prison.

2. The stories certainly sound VERY bad.

I can't claim to have any insight into this story and, of course, these people should have their day in court. However, if they actually did strap down a teenager, after she changed her mind about an abortion, and forced it on her anyway.....they need die in prison. I think that it is that simple. Apparently, "choice" was not in this guy's lexicon.

3. He is the sort that we need serious regulations against. Back alley doc.

4. Won't be much longer and that will be the ONLY abortion doctors available..

America is racing backward at breakneck speed...
