Gosnell: The Untold Story of America's Most Prolific Serial

Gosnell: The Untold Story of America's Most Prolific Serial Killer

He is Americaâ€™s most prolific serial killer. And yet Kermit Gosnell was no obvious criminal. The abortion doctor was a pillar of his community, an advocate for womenâ€™s â€œreproductive health,â€ and a respected member of Philadelphiaâ€™s professional elite. His Womenâ€™s Medical Society Clinic looked like admirable community outreach by a brave doctor committed to upholding womenâ€™s rights. Meanwhile, inside the filthy building, Gosnell was casually murdering born-alive infants, butchering women, and making a macabre collection of severed babiesâ€™ feet. His accomplices in crime were a staff of dropouts, drug addicts, and unlicensed medical professionals posing as doctors. But even more important to his decades-long crime spree were his enablers in the outside worldâ€”from the state bureaucrats who had copious evidence that Gosnell was breaking the law but did nothing to the politicians whose fervent support for abortion rights kept health inspectors away. The â€œpro-choiceâ€ political, bureaucratic, and media establishment smiled on Gosnellâ€”and gave him carte blanche to kill. Even law enforcement seemed to not care. Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit received a complaint about Gosnell years before he was caught, gave it a cursory look, and ignored the evidence. Two women and hundreds of babies died after they closed the case. Luckily, Detective Jim Woodâ€”a narcotics detectiveâ€”opened a drug case against Gosnell. What he found when he served his warrant left even the most grizzled members of the police force stunned. Now Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, the veteran investigative journalists and filmmakers behind FrackNation, dig into Gosnellâ€™s crimes. A record-breaking crowdfunding campaign financed their Gosnell movie starring young Superman Dean Cain, but in the research for the film, McElhinney and McAleer uncovered fascinating and previously unreported revelations that couldnâ€™t be included in the film. Gosnell: The Untold Story of Americaâ€™s Most Prolific Serial Killer contains the full results of their investigation.
