The Women's Medical Society, the clinic with a grandiose name that Kermit Gosnell ran, was a pill mill by day and an illegal abortion clinic by night. It is estimated Gosnell earned well over a million dollars conducting illegal late-term abortions. Many of the women who came to the clinic were poor and easily fooled by Gosnell and his staff of unlicensed "doctors" who administered dangerous drugs to the unsuspecting patients. Had it not been for a tip related to illegal prescription medications, bearing Gosnell's name, the clinic may still be operating today.
