The release of a movie with its corresponding book, as well as an additional book, detailing the crimes of Kermit Gosnell could not be more timely. As renewed attention is being given to the case of the Philadelphia abortionist who was sentenced to life in prison, people are preparing for memorial services across the nation at the gravesites of babies killed by abortion.

Gosnell was convicted of the first-degree murder of three infants born alive during botched abortions and the involuntary manslaughter of a mother on whom he performed an abortion. The infants, who were well past 20 weeks gestation, were murdered by having their spines cut with scissors shortly after delivery.
