He is America'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 women's "reproductive health," and a
respected member of Philadelphia's professional elite. His Women's
Medical Society Clinic looked like admirable community outreach by
a brave doctor committed to upholding women's rights. Meanwhile,
inside the filthy building, Gosnell was casually murdering
born-alive infants, butchering women, and making a macabre
collection of severed babies' 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
world-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 "pro-choice" political, bureaucratic, and media
establishment smiled on Gosnell-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 Wood-a narcotics detective-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 Gosnell'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 couldn't be included in
the film. Gosnell: The Untold Story of America's Most Prolific
Serial Killer contains the full results of their investigation.
