Update 2!  We Did It!

Message from Ann McElHinney, less than an hour ago:

BREAKING: Gosnell Movie is now 100% funded! Thank you so much for your support, we still have until midnight on Monday 12th to get more people in, we’d love to have at least 30,000 to be a part of this. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, WE ARE SO VERY GRATEFUL.

Update!

There are just ten days left to raise the money needed to produce The Gosnell Movie, and 84% of the money has been pledged – $1,763,347.  If the target of amount of $2,100,000 is not reached by the deadline, then none of the money will go to the project.

If you believe this is a worthwhile project, I encourage you to donate.  Even if you can’t afford to do so, please let your friends and family members know about it too; perhaps put something on your Facebook page, your Twitter account, or just in an email.  Donations as low as one dollar are accepted.

Here is what Michelle Malkin had to say about it yesterday:  Gosnell: The Movie Hollywood Won’t Make, But You Can

Why make a made-for-TV movie about Gosnell?

Because the Philadelphia Horror is a chilling tale of how mass murder, masquerading as “choice,” got a pass — and all Americans need to know about it.

Because there are vital lessons here for every daughter, mother and grandmother about the dangers of apathetic bureaucrats and the duplicity of “reproductive services” providers.

Because Gosnell may be behind bars now, but he is not alone.

A couple of years ago, I supported a Kickstarter project to produce the film, FrackNation.

The group that produced FrackNation – Phelim McAleer, Ann McElhinney (his wife), and Magdalena Segieda – has chosen their next project.  A made-for-tv movie that tells the story of Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist and serial killer.

This time they will be using IndieGoGo.com to raise funds from citizen producers.  Ann and Phelim had to remove their campaign from Kickstarter when the fundraising site threatened to edit their language and made noise about canceling the campaign.

Here is their story, in their own words:

Here is what Andrew Klavan (pjmedia.com) has to say about it:

Those of you who have read my essay The Crisis in the Arts know how strongly I feel about the battle for the culture. I think conservatives have been foolish to allow the left to seize control of the high ground of American art and entertainment. I feel — to paraphrase Andrew Breitbart — that GOP fund raisers and operatives work us up into a panic every couple of years by telling us the fate of the nation rests on the outcome of this or that congressional race. We pour our money into their campaigns — and, meanwhile, the left plays the long game of eroding the American way in novels, in music, on television and at the movies.

but the media buried his story and mainstream Hollywood will never touch it. Why? You know why. Because Gosnell was an abortionist and in order to fully recognize the horrors of his crimes, you have to begin to think about the logic of abortion and the flimsy arguments that support it. Rather than let that happen, the mainstream media stayed away from one of the trials of the decade. Here’s a picture of the empty courtroom seats reserved for the press:

The truth should be told — and if you’re holding your breath waiting for Hollywood to do it, I hope you’ve got really, really big lungs.

You can donate whatever you can here.
