WORLD reported on Wednesday that top novelist Andrew Klavan will write the screenplay about convicted killer and abortionist Kermit Gosnell. That hire is excellent not only because Klavan is a fine writer but also because he understands evil, as I learned by interviewing him in 2007 and 2009.

The producers of the movie about convicted killer and abortionist Kermit Gosnell have hired bestselling and award-winning novelist and screenwriter Andrew Klavan to write its screenplay.

The hire is the latest gutsy move for the team behind Gosnell, which broke records by raising the most money—about $2.1 million with the help of almost 27,000 donors—at Indiegogo, a crowdfunding website.

Killer’s assistant. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s assistant was sentenced to six to 12 years in prison last week for his involvement in killing babies born alive in the Philadelphia abortion facility dubbed a “house of horrors.”

Beware of 'comfort care'

Infanticide is the new abortion. I’m not saying infanticide will be the new abortion, but that it is. Wherever abortionists kill late-term babies—across the fruited plain—inconvenient live births occur. And inconvenient live births are taken care of. If your patient is shelling out a thousand bucks to end the life of her baby, you are not about to send her home with a baby and a formula starter kit.

Two of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s former employees, including his wife, Pearl, received sentences Wednesday for their role in his “house of horrors” abortion center.

The court showed mercy to one and passed judgment on the other.

“You chose to be his partner in life,” Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner told Pearl Gosnell. “And you chose to be his partner in this operation masquerading as a medical facility.”

WASHINGTON—Arizona Sen. John McCain and other moderate Republicans pointed to ill-fated abortion comments as one reason the GOP lost the 2012 elections and suggested conservative lawmakers should "leave the issue alone" in the future.

Six months later, one of McCain's fellow Arizona lawmakers is leading the charge to do exactly the opposite: Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., has introduced a bill that would ban all abortions in the United States after 20 weeks gestation.
