All about a doctor who ranks right up there (right down there) with Bundy, Gacy and Dahmer. Dr. Kermit Gosnell opened the Philadelphia Women's Medical Society wherein he gave women abortions in appalling squalor. Nothing was ever cleaned, including his hands. Women left that place with infections, bruises, STDs they didn't walk in with and it gets worse. This story is so well told it grabs you and holds you right from the beginning.

A devastating slam-dunk of a documentary
Ignore the negative reviews and decide for yourself. See what they don't want you to see.
First off, I've read the negative reviews. I can only wonder how many of those "reviewers" are actually abortion apologists who never even bothered to watch the documentary. They don't want you to know this. Another film has been in production for several years and will be released this fall and extraordinary steps have been taken to try to stop it from coming out. By the end of the documentary, it had become very evident that most, if not all of the negative reviews were lies.
Anti-abortion propaganda? If reporting the facts of this case leads one to feel like it's anti-abortion, then perhaps abortion is something to be opposed! To an honest observer, the focus here was clearly on the doctor, and the failures at the local and state level, that allowed this to continue. This man practiced for 17 years without a single inspection of his clinic because the state officials made a policy decision that abortion clinics were not to be inspected unless a complaint was filed, then they failed to inspect even when complaints WERE filed... not even when patient deaths were reported!
Does this happen in every clinic? Probably not. But it happened here, and it probably is happening elsewhere. We don't know because political pressure from Pro-abortion advocates has worked hard to prevent us from finding out. So-called "Pro-Choice" advocates have consistently opposed any attempt to require fully informed consent, including alternatives, physical and psychological risks, future infertility etc. They have opposed parental notification, despite the fact that uninformed parents of minors will be liable for any costs associated with adverse results! They oppose notification of the father. They oppose imposition of the same minimum health standards currently required for hair cuts and ear piercing! Yeah, they want abortion to be "safe and legal"... well, at least legal. Unfortunately, legalizing abortion didn't get rid of back alley abortionists, it just legalized them.
This case happened because of a political culture that puts protecting abortion above protecting women. THAT is the reality. Reporting truth is always propaganda, in the eyes of those who rely on hiding the truth to maintain their power.
Watch it and decide for yourself.
Story about a horrible Christian doctor & psychopath
This is a terrible story about a huge injustice. This is what happens when people are not informed and a woman's choice is politicised.
Doctor Gosnell was a Christian doctor and also a psychopath that performed illegal abortions. The state of Pennsylvania was negligent in not following up time and again on complaints about this doctor. This film is basically an anti-choice propaganda piece.
If women especially poor women, had free access to medical services, were well informed and not stigmatized for seeking medical reproductive treatments, counseling, and contraception, this would have never happened.
