After months of planning by the Office of the Public Liaison, the graphic anti-abortion movie “Gosnell” is now scheduled to be screened at the White House on Friday afternoon
No members of Congress were invited to attend, according to a White House official, and a spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence did not respond to a request for comment.
The screening comes almost six years after Gosnell was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder following a trial that provoked outrage on both sides of the abortion debate. Groups like March for Life, which has long opposed medical abortions, said at the time the case highlighted the “ugliness” of the industry, while pro-abortion groups felt that it underscored their arguments for safe, legal abortions.
Prior to that announcement, Trump fiercely criticized a pair of late-term abortion bills in New York and Virginia, lamenting in his State of the Union that both legislative initiatives would allow “a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments from birth.” Sources close to the president told POLITICO at the time that Trump saw an opportunity to re-engage his religious supporters when the Democratic-backed bills began to draw backlash from conservative circles.
