If you haven’t seen the movie “Gosnell,” it is required viewing for Americans like me who avoided the abortion issue because I lacked the moral courage to really think about it and form my own opinion. The movie works very hard to avoid smothering an important philosophical question with scenes of gore. In fact, it depicts real and nuanced questions that go well beyond our abortion debate that seems stuck in impasse. “Gosnell” is not about an abortion doctor committing “murder” by aborting fetuses––the movie is about a doctor killing delivered babies who breathe, move, and sometimes even cry before...

The movie about Kermit Gosnell, the late-term abortionist in Philadelphia who went to prison after being convicted of the murder of three babies, briefly cracked the Top 10 at the U.S. box office but also continues to face what its producers call censorship. “We have been banned, blocked, and attacked,” Phelim McAleer, who co-produced “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer” with his wife, Ann McElhinney, said in a statement Friday to The Daily Signal. “The mainstream media refused to review the film despite a national release of a movie about a subject [abortion] that is a major political...

LifeZette talked to Terri Palmquist, one of several people who helped a future mom say 'no' to killing her baby On the opening weekend of the movie “Gosnell,” a Christian pro-life ministry in Bakersfield, California, rented out a theater to allow as many people as possible to see the film — which tells the true story of former abortion doctor and convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell. (Shown above: actor Dean Cain, right, and director Nick Searcy, left, from the film.) It is fair to say today they believe it was well worth their investment. Tim and Terri Palmquist of LiverSavers Ministries,...

Philadelphia, the historic city where abortionist Kermit Gosnell practiced for decades, has given little attention to the new film exposing his horrific trade. “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer” opened Oct. 12. It follows the true story of Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortionist who murdered newborn babies and committed numerous other crimes inside his “house of horrors” abortion facility. It stars Dean Cain (“Lois & Clark”) and is directed by Nick Searcy (“The Shape of Water,” “Justified”). It broke into the top 10 films in its first weekend. Philadelphia Weekly recently reviewed the film and noted the lack of...

Philadelphia, PA – The release of the new movie “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” was a big success and has again brought to light the story of Kermit Gosnell’s murder trial and the depraved conduct at his West Philadelphia “House of Horrors” abortion facility. I followed that case from the initial raid on his Women’s Medical Society in February 2010, and personally attended Gosnell’s trial in the spring of 2013. I told the story in my book last year, and offer you an insider look at ten important things you may not know about the Gosnell case....

It truly is all hands on deck time. As theatres continue to drop “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer” (roughly 500 to date), it is imperative that pro-lifers and all those people who are fair-minded about abortion hear and see the true story of the West Philadelphia abortionist who murdered hundreds of full or nearly full-term babies by delivering them alive and severing their spinal cords. You can find out where Gosnell is still showing at gosnellmovie.com/theaters. Over the past two days Josh Shepherd and Tyler O’Neil had terrific posts. Here’s what we learned: #1. [Shepherd] “During its...

The new film exposing notorious abortionist Kermit Gosnell keeps changing minds about abortion. Patrick Courrielche, an entrepreneur and writer, recent tweeted about seeing the film, “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer.” He said it “singlehandedly” changed his mind about abortion. Courrielche is known for starting the pop-up retail trend and exposing political biases at the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. The film has been eye-opening for many Americans. Earlier this week, Kathy Zhu, a college student with a huge social media following, said the film also changed her mind about abortion. “Yesterday, I was pro-choice....

News is whatever the press wants it to be. When the national media really hate a story, they try to bury it, and if it has the audacity to resurface, they try to bury it all over again. In 2013, Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell was convicted of first-degree murder for the death of three babies whose necks he snipped after they were born alive. He was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Karnamaya Mongar, a refugee from Nepal who was overanesthetized, and faced hundreds of lesser counts. He was sentenced to life without parole. To read...

Nick Searcy, INTERNATIONAL FILM & TELEVISION STAR ✔ @yesnicksearcy As I said the day her article was published, @robinmarty is lying about the @gosnellmovie, and her willful ignorance of the facts of the case of Kermit Gosnell reveals her impenetrable bias.

Because of YOUR efforts, more theaters will be showing the #GosnellMovie this weekend. Please call your local theater and demand the movie. Please get a group and go to see it. If it's not near you, demand that it is. In the meantime go online and buy a theater ticket - even if you can't go. Make sure we have great numbers - we need to have a bump at the box office to ensure that the message goes out that the cover-up stops NOW. ***Image of theaters now added on link****

A new film out this past weekend highlights the horrifying 2009 death of Karnamaya Mongar, a 41-year-old refugee from Nepal who died shortly after leaving a Philadelphia abortion clinic called the Women’s Medical Society. A grand jury report showed Mongar’s death was only deeply looked into months after, when it was uncovered during an unrelated drug raid at Kermit Gosnell’s clinic. This fact points to a key takeaway from the film, regardless of one’s views on abortion: The Women’s Medical Society was overlooked because it served poor and disenfranchised women and because Gosnell was an abortion provider. “Gosnell” centers on...

Gosnell works on so many levels it’s hard to count them all. The film tackles one of the most emotional subjects in our culture – abortion – with grace and care. The screenplay packs a specific point of view but leaves the soapbox storytelling off the frame. We’re gripped by a narrative that could chase away those with weak stomachs. Even the film’s PG:13 rating is a victory of sorts given the horrors committed by the titular villain. Dr. Kermit Gosnell ran a filthy abortion clinic where cats roamed the halls and babies’ feet floated in hidden jars. The specifics...

The story was under-reported when it happened. Now the movie is being deliberately hidden. “There was blood on the floor. A stench of urine filled the air. A flea-infested cat was wandering through the facility, and there were cat feces on the stairs. Semi-conscious women scheduled for abortions were moaning in the waiting room or the recovery room, where they sat on dirty recliners covered with blood-stained blankets.” —what FBI and Pennsylvania Department of Health officials stated they saw upon raiding the abortion clinic of Dr. Kermit Gosnell on Feb. 18, 2010 “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer”...

Beyond party and ideology, let’s meet the challenge to care for women and children. There’s a scene in the new movie Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer that should launch candid conversations around the country. Alexis McGuire (played by Sarah Jane Morris), the lead prosecutor in the case against the Philadelphia abortion-clinic doctor Kermit Gosnell, is depicted at home with her husband, distraught at the reality of the horror she’s had to face in the investigation. She explains: Mother’s Day 1972. Gosnell and this psychologist bussed in 15 pregnant women from Chicago. Second trimester. They were doing this...

You need to go see the new movie "Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer," starring actor Dean Cain in the leading role. It's in theaters nationwide this Friday. And while you're at it, take several friends with you. But if you've never heard about this film, I can't say I blame you. You're not alone. Not only should you go see it if you care about the plight of unborn children and their mothers, but a purchase of this particular movie ticket is a rebuke to the disgraceful behavior of the American mainstream press a few years ago....

Are movies an expression of America’s cultural values, or are our values influenced by what we see on the big screen? There’s a case to be made for both arguments, and the answer may be that it's a giant circle; what we see influences what we believe, and what we create and portray is influenced by our evolving beliefs. This is certainly the way it has played out over the last 50 years in the debate over abortion rights. The landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, which affirmed women's legal rights to abortion, brings the national conversation...

This weekend is it! The Gosnell Movie is finally on the big screen and has opened in 661 movie theaters across the country.

It is most important that this first weekend be huge. This is the time it matters so please go on this opening weekend and please take scores and scores of folks with you. If you fear it is too gruesome, it is not....

Editor’s note. Today is the nationwide premier of “Gosnell – The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer.” We have a number of posts about a very, very important film. The ultimate driving force behind the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell was an incredible 261 page Grand Jury report. In daily segments, NRL News Today reposted almost the entire report in 2013. What follows below comes from “Section I: Overview,” a devastating indictment of the entire bureaucratic structure which turned a blind eye to this man’s reign of terror. It is a doleful reminder that in many, many places in this...

PRESS RELEASE Philadelphia, PA – “The world would not know the name of Kermit Gosnell if it were not for Cheryl Sullenger,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. Sullenger attended the now infamous abortion/murder trial in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 2013. She was the first journalist outside local news affiliates to report daily on the proceedings’ shocking revelations and often-emotional testimony to a national audience. Her reporting sparked a Twitter storm that was responsible for drawing national media to cover the trial. Sullenger, who followed the story from the moment of the police raid through the trial...
