The name “Gosnell” continues to disturb the American psyche. When the nation’s most prolific serial killer appeared before a court, there was a virtual news blackout. When a book was published about Gosnell’s offences, the bestseller lists tried to hide how well the book was selling. And now, after a film has been made about Gosnell, it is not reviewed, even though at the box office it is one of the top grossing films currently on release.
Why? One word: abortion.
Kermit Gosnell was an abortionist working in Philadelphia. In 2010, an initial police investigation into his suspected criminal activity of selling prescriptions to drug dealers uncovered something far worse. What was taking place at Gosnell’s abortion facility was so barbaric that police dubbed it a House of Horrors.
