             Abortion Doctor Gets 3 Life Sentences for Baby Murders

   A U.S. abortion doctor was sent to prison Wednesday to serve three life
   terms without parole for murdering babies during late-term abortion.
   Dr. Kermit Gosnell was given a life sentence in a Philadelphia court
   Wednesday for killing a baby he had described as big enough to "walk to
   the bus." The court handed down two life sentences Tuesday in a deal
   with prosecutors that spared him the death penalty.
   The 72-year-old Gosnell was convicted this week of first-degree murder
   in the deaths of three babies born alive then stabbed with scissors. He
   was also sentenced to up to five years in prison for the involuntary
   manslaughter of a patient who died from a drug overdose after going to
   his clinic for an abortion.
   Gosnell`s dangerous practice was discovered during a prescription drug
   raid by federal agents.
   Gosnell also was sentenced on a charge of running a corrupt
   organization. Testimony depicted a filthy clinic that prosecutors
   called a ``house of horrors.``
   The case has made the doctor the latest focus in the nation`s bitter
   debate over legalized abortion.
