He was also convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the drug-overdose death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, along with hundreds of other charges including illegal late-term abortions and operating a medically unsanitary facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro-life leaders described Gosnell\u2019s clinic as a symbol of the abortion industry\u2019s disregard for human life.
