"I saw a commercial for next Friday's edition of 20/20 last night..."

No, you saw a PROMO. A commercial is an advertisement about commerce - for a product or service for $$. A network advertisement of its own shows is a promo.

The story suggested by a network promo is rarely the story as it actually exists. They simply want to pique your interest so you'll watch the show.

20/20 is not a commercial enterprise? Saying a promo is not a commercial is like saying that because an apple is not an orange which is a fruit that an apple is not a fruit.

Promo or commercial, who cares? It's sick.

Why don't they just put two mothers in a pit and let them knife fight over the child?

We are headed for Rome. We're nearly there.

I've an adopted daughter. We had two previous fall throughs. Fall throughs are when you are chosen to be the adopted parent, and the mother makes another decision at the last minute.

There is sick and evil, like me holding the girl's hand as she's having the baby, only to have her reveal that she never intended to put the baby up for adoption, but to use the process to avoid arrest on meth charges (yup, no idea until it happened).

In most adoption processes, you don't know that your 'profile' is out (a package of information about you, and why you want to adopt). Your profile goes out with two others, and the mother either decides or asks for other profiles.

No matter how you slice it, the Walter's piece is sick on a level that makes demons smile. It doesn't matter how its packaged.

I'll tell you this: if the money spent on the pro-abortion stand was spent on a pro-adoption movement, we might not have an abortion problem.

I wish I would have had the time to have launched a pro-adoption counter march in WDC at the same time as the pro-abortion movement. Would have been interesting.
