Summary
This week on the Explicitly Pro-Life Podcast, Kristan Hawkins is joined by Phelim McAleer, to discuss the case of Dr. Gosnell.
Gosnell was an abortionist in Philadelphia from 1979 to 2010 until he was put on trial and convicted of manslaughter.
The court case caught the eye of Phelim, who was a journalist at the time, and was shocked by what he saw. Although he did not consider himself to be pro-life, he took on the story.
In this episode, McAleer shares his powerful testimony and what lead him to not only cover the Gosnell story as a journalist when no on else would, but produce a movie about him.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everyone. It's Kristen Hawkins and welcome to this new episode of the explicitly pro-life podcast. As you know, we have started a new season, abortion crimes. We wanted to kind of make this a kind of a true crime themed season as we realize every abortion is a crime. But we want to talk about the most heinous cases, those who've been committing |
| 0:22.6 | abortions illegally, those are harming women, not only just killing children. And so today, |
| 0:29.2 | I'm so excited. Our guest is joining us from Serbia, where he's hot on Hunter Biden's trail. He |
| 0:35.6 | talked about that a little bit, but Phelham Macalier. I've known |
| 0:38.7 | Phelham and his wife, Ann, for a number of years. Phelm is an veteran investigative journalist, |
| 0:45.4 | New York Times, bestselling author, filmmaker, podcast hosts, playwright, and one of the world's |
| 0:52.1 | leading crowd funders. You might have recognized his name because if you were around in the pro-life movie a few years |
| 0:59.7 | ago, there was a really big movie that came out called Gossnell. |
| 1:04.9 | And Phelam and Ann were the geniuses behind that film of taking the transcripts, the court |

| 1:12.6 | attorney's reports of what was happening in Philadelphia with the abortionist, Kermit Gossnell, |
| 1:17.6 | who was operating a legal abortion facility and was actually charged and is now spending the |
| 1:24.4 | rest of his days in prison for killing women and committing illegal |
| 1:28.8 | late-term abortions in his abortion facility there in Philadelphia. |
| 1:33.4 | But Phelham and Ann, they took what was happening and was not getting any press coverage, |
| 1:38.6 | by the way, by the mainstream press, and they turned it into an incredible movie. |
| 1:43.2 | I hope you've tuned into it or at least after this |
| 1:46.0 | podcast, you'll make sure you get a copy of it. They launched a crowdfunded campaign to fund this |
| 1:51.3 | movie. And I think to date, it was the most successful movie project ever crowdfunded on the site |
| 1:58.3 | Indiegogo. They raised over $2.3 million from more than 30,000 people, students for life and all the |
| 2:05.3 | other national pro-life groups were helping raise money for this film. |
