Kermit Gosnell, an abortion doctor, was convicted of first-degree in three counts of murder and one count of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of three babies and one adult patient at his inner-city clinic. His sentence is not yet decided, as jurors will reconvene on May 21 to consider whether he should be executed. Gosnell was acquitted of one count of first-degree murder in a fourth abortion.
North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple has signed into a law what is being called the nation's toughest anti-abortion measure, a law that bans most abortions after six weeks when a fetal heartbeat is first detected.
