One of the producers of
"3801 Lancaster," a documentary film about abortionist Kermit Gosnell, has a moving commentary where she discusses how she was part of the abortion blackout before she starting working on "3801 Lancaster." Everyone one of us has the responsibility to be a light in the darkness, sharing the truth about abortion.
Before I started working on the “3801 Lancaster”
film project 2 years ago, I barely had a thought about abortion. It’s
not something I had ever been close to. It wasn't a popular topic of
conversation among my friends. So I lived like it didn’t exist.
I was part of the blackout.
The
blackout isn't new. It's not exclusive to the mainstream media. This
blackout happens every day in our homes and our schools and our
neighborhoods. It happens when we make choices to not think and speak
about abortion. It happens when we choose to live like abortion doesn't
exist. So many of us are afraid to talk about it. It makes us
uncomfortable. So we "blackout" abortion. And in "blacking out" abortion, we've "blacked out" the women who went to Dr. Gosnell and the babies that died at his clinic........
Don’t be part of the blackout, my friends. Don't
live like babies weren't killed with scissors. Don't pretend that women
weren't killed and mutilated. We have to talk about it. We have to
wrestle with what happened at 3801 Lancaster Avenue. Talk about it with
love. Talk about it with compassion. Talk about it with conviction.
Let’s break the silence together.
