Investigators believe he killed hundreds if not thousands of babies in a 30-year killing spree.<\/p>\n<h3>The Media&#8217;s Reticence<\/h3>\n<p>The Gosnell court case became a media sensation for a while because the world\u2019s media refused to cover it. Journalists and their outlets were accused on social media of not wanting to cover negative abortion stories. Eventually, they were shamed into covering the trial.<\/p>\n<h3>The Focus on Certain Stories<\/h3>\n<p>These days there seems to be no such reticence about covering abortion, or rather, in covering certain abortion stories. Since Gosnell and particularly since Roe v. Wade was overturned there has been story after story about women whose lives have been negatively impacted because they live in states that have brought in abortion bans or restrictive laws. Hollywood has helped out too with movies, miniseries, and a slew of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/10-years-later-would-gosnells-house-of-horrors-be-the-norm-in-post-roe-america\/\" title=\"Could Gosnell's 'House of Horrors' become common in America after Roe v. Wade? 10 years later.\">network prime-time shows dramatizing<\/a> the plight of women they say are unable to get an abortion in the new post-Roe world. Planned Parenthood even has a full-time staff member based in Hollywood whose only job is to help writers craft the storylines.<\/p>\n<h3>The Ignored Story<\/h3>\n<p>But the stories have concentrated on certain states that have virtually banned abortion whilst ignoring the trend of increasingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tv-networks-reject-pro-life-groups-ad-asserting-humanity-of-unborn-unacceptable\/\" title=\"TV Networks Reject Pro-Life Group\u2019s Ad Asserting Humanity Of Unborn: \u2018Unacceptable\u2019\">permissive abortion laws<\/a> being passed in very many states. There is an untold abortion story that is being ignored.<\/p>\n<h3>The Permissive Laws<\/h3>\n<p>Across vast swaths of the United States, including California, Michigan, New Mexico, Colorado, Oregon, D.C., and Vermont there are now virtually no barriers to abortion right up to nine months. Similarly, there are few rules to stop late-term abortions in New York.<\/p>\n<h3>The Lack of Coverage<\/h3>\n<p>The media stories focus on women finding it difficult to secure abortions in red states. There are almost no stories about how in Montana doctors are not legally obliged to try and save the life of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/maryland-democrats-seek-to-decriminalize-infanticide\/\" title=\"Maryland Democrats Seek to Decriminalize Infanticide\">baby born alive<\/a> after an abortion. Although attempts by the state\u2019s governor to legislate around the ballot initiative received extensive coverage. There is also a dearth of stories about the increased number of women aborting babies up to nine months. There are now tens of thousands every year. It\u2019s hard to be more accurate because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) refuses to order states to collate the numbers. The stories also usually fail to mention that many states now have the most permissive abortion laws on the planet.<\/p>\n<h3>The Inconvenient Facts<\/h3>\n<p>It is probably in neither side\u2019s interest to point out these inconvenient facts. Pro-abortion advocates will continue to push the narrative of women in allegedly extreme medical conditions being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/they-are-not-afraid-pompeo-calls-on-biden-to-fully-support-cuba-protesters\/\" title=\"\u2018They Are Not Afraid\u2019: Pompeo Calls On Biden To Fully Support Cuba Protesters\">denied medical care<\/a>. It helps turn out donors and voters. The pro-life side probably doesn\u2019t want to highlight losing so many ballot initiatives and prefers to highlight their victories. And so the public believes abortion laws are a one-way tsunami of restrictions.<\/p>\n<h3>The Delusional Abortionist<\/h3>\n<p>Ten years ago we accidentally walked into a Philadelphia courtroom and found a story that led us to write a book and produce a movie and true crime podcast about an abortionist who was also a serial killer. This meant visiting and having many conversations with Gosnell. He likes to talk. Throughout these conversations, there has always been one constant theme. He is innocent. He spends his days writing poetry celebrating abortion and keeping fit, he tells us. He\u2019s keeping fit because when he is exonerated and released he is going to celebrate by running a triathlon.<\/p>\n<p>We eventually had to block Kermit Gosnell from phoning us. He phoned often and at the most awkward times. Who really wants to take a phone call from a serial killer at your friend\u2019s wedding? We felt he was delusional with his bad poetry and repeated claims of innocence.<\/p>\n<h3>The Future of Abortion Laws<\/h3>\n<p>But given the changes in laws in blue, purple, and even some red states, perhaps we are the delusional ones. There hasn\u2019t been a ballot initiative in Pennsylvania yet, but given time it will probably happen. In large parts of America you can now abort babies up to nine months and doctors can let babies born alive die of neglect. These changes could be coming to Pennsylvania soon. Then we could legitimately ask if Gosnell would be even charged in today\u2019s post-Roe world.<\/p>\n<p>Kermit Gosnell could be running his triathlon yet. <\/p>\n<h3>Abortion Law, Born Alive, Crime, Infanticide, Roe v.
