One of Gosnell’s assistants, in a recent Philadelphia grand jury report, described the Super Coil as “basically plastic razors that were formed into a ball” and covered in gel. “After several hours of body temperature, it would then — the gel would melt, and these 97 things would spring open, supposedly cutting up the fetus, and the fetus would be expelled.”

[Harvey] Karman, under the auspices of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, had traveled to Bangladesh to abort babies conceived through rape by soldiers. Now the inventor was taking his weapon in the abortion wars to Gosnell’s clinic, and New York’s public television station was there to catch it on camera. Things didn’t go well.

“At least two of the 18 women given abortions had to be hospitalized afterward,” the Tribune reported. “One of them almost died. Nine suffered other complications, including bleeding and infection.”

When Karman, a former colleague of Gosnell, died in 2008, much of the media touted him as a hero. The Chicago Tribune’s obituary read: “Harvey Karman 84, flamboyant psychologist who invented a device that made a key contribution to women’s reproductive health, particularly by making abortions simpler, less expensive and less painful; May 6, in Santa Barbara, Calif., of a stroke.”

Indeed, Karman’s abortion method for the first trimester — suctioning out a tiny baby with a modified syringe — became the industry norm. Karman’s Super Coil was abandoned.

More revelations are coming to light about the gruesome abortion business Kermit Gosnell ran where he killed a woman in an abortion and killed babies in grisly abortion-infanticides and kept their bodies as trophies.

But new information is also coming to light about the abortion practice Gosnell ran for decades — including in the 1970s when he injured several women in a odd experiment on women using a new abortion method. Whether Gosnell obtained the consent of women to engage in this experiment is unknown but multiple women were injured as a result.

Ironically the experiment and the injures to women via abortions occurred on Mother’s Day. One of the strongest practical arguments in favor of the Roe regime is that abortion has been around since time immemorial and outlawing it only drove it underground, leading women to endanger themselves by seeking out the services of back-alley quacks. The Philadelphia grand jurors recounted a powerful example from their own city’s history.

It was called the Mother’s Day Massacre. A young Philadelphia doctor “offered to perform abortions on 15 poor women who were bused to his clinic from Chicago on Mother’s Day 1972, in their second trimester of pregnancy.” The women didn’t know that the doctor “planned to use an experimental device called a ‘super coil’ developed by a California man named Harvey Karman.”
