PHILADELPHIA
– State authorities cited a recent patient death in suspending the
license of a doctor who performed abortions, but one of dozens of civil
lawsuits filed against him said a woman died from a botched abortion in
2000.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell's license was
temporarily suspended this week after investigators found blood on the
floor, fetus parts in jars and a recovery area consisting of recliners.

Gosnell,
69, is named in nearly four dozen lawsuits going back 20 years. Ten are
malpractice suits, including one by the family of a young woman who
died after a March 2000 abortion at his West Philadelphia clinic.
