Media Entrepreneur Patrick Courrielche Changes His Mind on Abortion After Seeing “Gosnell” Movie
LIFE NEWS ^ | October 24, 2018 | Micaiah Bilger

The new film exposing notorious abortionist Kermit Gosnell keeps changing minds about abortion.

Patrick Courrielche, an entrepreneur and writer, recent tweeted about seeing the film, “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer.” He said it “singlehandedly” changed his mind about abortion.

Courrielche is known for starting the pop-up retail trend and exposing political biases at the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

The film has been eye-opening for many Americans. Earlier this week, Kathy Zhu, a college student with a huge social media following, said the film also changed her mind about abortion.

“Yesterday, I was pro-choice. I believed that women should have a say & the gov shouldn’t be interfering w/ our lives,” she told her nearly 50,000 Twitter followers. “Today, I’m pro-life. After watching Gosnell and doing in-depth research, I finally understand the horrors of loopholes in late term abortions.”

“Gosnell,” which opened Oct. 12, follows the true story of Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortionist who murdered newborn babies and committed numerous other crimes inside his “house of horrors” abortion facility. It stars Dean Cain (“Lois & Clark”) and is directed by Nick Searcy (“The Shape of Water,” “Justified”). It broke into the top 10 films in its first weekend.

Producers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney said they have heard many stories like Zhu’s and Courrielche’s.

“We showed a liberal friend an early cut of the film and he left the theater and started chain-smoking declaring: ‘I’ll have to rethink everything,” they said. “That is why we made the Gosnell Movie – not to make people think a particular thing but to bring facts to people and to make them think again. As journalists and filmmakers it is all we want to do.”

In 2013, a jury convicted Gosnell of murdering three newborn babies and contributing to the death of a female patient, along with numerous other crimes. He was sentenced to three consecutive life terms in prison. The grand jury report found that abortion activists ignored Gosnell, allowing his horrific business to continue for decades.

The film is rated PG-13. Hundreds of theaters across the U.S. are showing the film. For more details, visit gosnellmovie.com.

Abortion is an abstraction to millions of Americans. It is a non-thought to them. So our first question to them is, have you seen an unborn child, and do you know how an abortion is performed?

Our Blessed Lord moves in mysterious ways.

Producers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney are doing the Lord’s work, and I am grateful.

I’m so glad this is making people re-think the issue, and changing minds and hearts.

I can’t see it, though. I think it would be too awful. Will buy tickets.

Sad, but true. Living proof of the success of the 50 year old propaganda machine controlled by ‘pro-choice’ zealots.

‘Pro-choice’ ‘fetal tissue’ ‘womyns health care’ ‘planned parenthood’ are just a few nonsensical terms I can think of.

They have become so common in society, many people don’t really question what the pro-abortionists are trying to sell them!

Control the debate by controlling the language used, is a time-tested, very effective strategy.

Three months after the movie has finished its run in the theaters, FOX or a right-leaning media streaming company, should air the movie. Theaters won’t bring enough of an audience, where the whole world needs to see the gruesomeness of abortion and the evilness of those that perform them or even support them.

I won’t be holding my breath, but, perhaps somebody or some organization with a conscience would bring the movie and story to the masses.

I think they should try and get it on iTunes as a $4.99 buy or 99 cennt rental. I think they would make a good haul if they did it now since theaters are being stupid about it and it is at least somewhat in the news. Besides, many folks like my family stopped going to theaters full of rude people years ago. Cheaper to buy it on iTunes or wait till its on hulu or Amazon Prime for free.

“Pro choice” is such a nice vanilla term designed to lull people. I’ve always been pro life, but this movie shook me up. The difference between late term abortion which many support and what Gosnell did is the squalor of his clinic and the method for delivery of the coup de grace
