An anti-abortion film co-created by Donegal woman Ann McElhinney is to be shown by the Trump administration in the White House today.
The movie, titled Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer, is about US doctor Kermit Gosnell, who ran a secret abortion clinic.
Journalist Ann McElhinney, who is from Bundoran and her husband, Tyrone man Phelim McAleer, crowd-funded the true crime drama film.
The film has been noted for its graphic depiction of second- and third-trimester abortions. Dr Gosnell was prosecuted in 2013 for illegal late-term abortions and for first-degree murder of three babies that were born alive at his clinic. The film has come under fire by some critics, who see it as a pro-life statement against all legal abortions.
Poltico.com reports that Gosnell is to be screened in the White House on Friday and around 150 guests from various anti-abortion and faith groups are invited to the event. President Trump is not expected to attend the screening.
