content

The film begins with the fade-in that since the legalization of abortion in the USA in 1973 there have been over 2,400 acts of violence against clinics or employees of the clinics. Seven people were murdered and 150 clinics were set on fire.

This is followed by interviews with leading activists in the Christian-motivated anti-abortion movement in the USA. Most come from the white lower and middle class. The interviewees have different radical views about opposition to the practice of abortion. The most radicals publicly express their solidarity with the murderers who murdered doctors who practiced abortion in a wave of violence in the 1990s. The murder of Dr. John Brittons through Paul Jennings Hill and the assassination of Dr. Barnett Slepians performed by James Charles Kopp with Hill interviewed on death row . The radical part of the anti-abortion movement views abortion doctors as killers. The judges at the United States Supreme Court would have to be charged with murder and executed. Some compare themselves to the White Rose resistance organization , which stood in opposition to the Nazi regime. The abortion practice in the USA is compared by them with the Holocaust and the legislation in the USA with the Nuremberg Laws . Some activists believe the majority of the American people are behind them. Bob Lokey also runs the Nuremberg files web, a site that lists the addresses of doctors who Lokeys see as baby killers . Lokey also believes the US is on the verge of civil war.
