Kermit Gosnell shows no remorse for his abominable actions in his
Philadelphia abortion clinic, actions which have him serving multiple life
sentences. Gosnell, a late-term abortionist, was found guilty of murdering
babies by snipping their necks, and faced charges for racketeering and
blatantly ignoring abortion laws. At least one patient died in his clinic due
to his neglect. Townhall recently brought you an interview
with the authors of Gosnell:
The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer, a
bestselling book on Amazon.
His
crimes are also described in detail in the documentary 3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy.
The
documentary, directed by David M. Altrogge, takes on the disturbing
task of giving viewers a tour of Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” abortion
clinic. You see everything from his filthy medical rooms to the jars
of babies’ feet he kept in his cabinets. In addition to a tour, the
documentary features interviews with some of Gosnell’s former patients. In
those confessionals, we discover that several of these young
women had second thoughts about having abortions. Yet, Gosnell mocked them
for their hesitation and refused to take no for an answer.
Altrogge’s
documentary, which came out in 2015 but only recently became available for
download, subscription video on demand and DVD, is also unique in that it
features an interview with Gosnell himself. Altrogge, who phoned Gosnell
in prison, said the conversation was “disorienting” and not at all what he
expected after reading the case’s grand jury report.
“I think
what was surprising is Gosnell had been portrayed as this monster in the
media, so I sort of went in expecting to meet a ‘Hannibal Lecter’ type
character,” he explained. “I was surprised how friendly and charming he was and
very much sane, it was a very disorienting thing. Then you read the accounts of
what he did, you remember the interviews with the girls that went to his
office, and you see the photographs of the babies who had their necks severed.”
You can hear the strange calmness in
Gosnell’s voice, even laughter at certain moments. Most unnerving of all,
he did not provide any hint of remorse.
Gosnell told Altrogge that he grew up in the
Baptist faith. With such core Christian values, he wanted to find a
profession in which he could help the needy.
“People came to me pleading for intervention,” he
said.
What he means is that these young women wanted
abortions – even in very late stages of their pregnancies. He somehow felt it
was his Christian duty to grant their wishes.
Gosnell’s actions, he argues, were justified by the
Holy Bible.
“The Bible to me is
clear that life doesn’t happen until breath,” he said, referencing the book of Genesis, which reads that God breathed
life into Adam.
“I very strongly
believe in my innocence,” he said.
Not only that, but he believes his conviction will
be overturned and he will one day be “vindicated.”
Gosnell is not the only guilty party in this
tragedy. Because of their failure to inspect Gosnell’s abortion clinic for
years, the Pennsylvania Department of State and Department of Health are
also to blame, the director insists.
“Yes, did they actually use the scissors to sever
the spinal cords of the babies’ who were born alive? No, but they chose not to
act for decades for political reasons,” Altrogge said.
