Yes, it's a very fair movie. Very moving. Very worth watching.
I saw it, it was a bit clunky but then again my perspective is I know most of the story. The movie really brought to life how the reason everyone ignored Gosnell’s blatant problems is because they were “pro-choice” or didn’t want to go against “pro-choice” authorities or be labeled “pro-life.” Even the prosecutor and detective were “pro-choice” but had seen too much horror to let it go.
Not to hijack thread, but earlier this week I saw on TCM, a silent movie from 1916 titled: “Where Are My Children?”. I recommend it.
About 25 yrs ago there was an article in Time about genetic research. Scientists said that one day they might be able to determine personality traits from fetal DNA. They specifically cited predispositions toward homosexuality and criminal behavior as examples. If their really is such a thing as a “gay” gene or a “mean” gene, all the pontificating about medical ethics will not prevent someone from letting the cat out of the bag. Then it will only be a matter of time before a woman seeks an abortion because her doc told here the “unviable tissue mass” she’s carrying will turn out gay. Or a serial killer. Or both, think Son of Sam, John Wayne Gacey,etc. At that point I coild just see pro choices suddenly become pro lifers faster than Kyle Busch on steroids.
Exsposing the abhorrent evil committed against the innocent and most helpless.
