Pro-abortion groups have responded to the Law & Order episode with outrage that the show would feature an abortionist modeled on Dr. Tiller in a less than beatific light.

Charlotte Taft writes that "NBC cannot hide behind the words" by stating that the story is fictitious. For the media to make a negative story so blatantly ripped off the death of "St. George," as she dubs Tiller, is to murder him again. "There is no balance here," she says.

These people are just sick.

These people are just sick.

You can add "and lazy, crippled, blind and crazy" to that (from a spiritual standpoint, that is).

I don't watch TV, but this sounds remarkable. And the evenhanded approach is best, because it might actually make some converts of the viewers. Or at least make them think.

In addition, former nurse turned pro-life activist Jill Stanek has also related that while working at a hospital in Illinois, numerous babies born alive after failed abortions were simply left to die in the "soiled utility room."

The hospital in question was a subsidiary of the church that Barack Obama belonged to in Chicago, where Rev. Wright was pastor. Just the right sort of church for Obama.

I was posted this thread on Friday night because I was really surprised how balanced this particular episode was to the pro-life movement. It handled late-term abortions very well and I thought - despite starting the episode with the murder of a Tiller-like doctor - it had a resounding pro-life message.

One of the characters made some eloquent arguments against abortion, and another character actually moved from a pro-abortion position to a seemingly pro-life position. Overall, it was shocking to see such deference giving to the pro-life movement, especially on NBC and on "Law & Order", in particular.

"Law & Order" Abortion Episode Outrages Pro-Abortion Groups

Imagine, ONE pro-life episode has such an impact, when they have been regurgitating their pro-infanticide propaganda on TV shows and the media, for how many years now???

[BallyBill]

Then they should stop watching L&O, just like I did after almost 11 years of not missing a single episode. The last year I could no longer waste my time being insulted. That was in 2003.

Have not seen an episode since they did an Iraq War rant that had absolutely nothing to do with the storyline.

“Kate Harding complained on Salon.com that the episode features only two groups: ‘Anti-choicers, who believe fetuses’ rights trump women’s, and the pseudo-pro-choicers, who are conveniently persuaded to agree with them by the end of the episode.”

I know I’m mostly preaching to the choir here at FR, but a couple talking points in response to this:

1. There is no right to kill another living human being without cause, either in the Constitution or the moral law.

2. The “fetus” does not trump the woman’s rights: both have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit to happiness. If anything, the woman’s own responsibility to maintain her child’s right to such is what trumps any of her alleged claims that a baby would interfere too much with her life.

3. It’s telling that Ms. Harding thinks only “pseudo-pro-choicers” could possibly be persuaded by pro-life arguments. Perhaps we have a political variant of Calvinism here: once depraved, always depraved. (Actually, come to think of it, that’s part of Calvinism too!)

Rats and other vermin scurry away from the light, which in this case is the truth!

I watched that episode, and I noticed that an additional facet involved officer of the court and legal misconduct on the part of the head prosecutor in concealing from the court and jury the homicide (infanticide) committed by the abortion doctor.

The second chair prosecutor finally refused orders to violate ethics rules and reported the crime to the police authorities, court and defense council, a major exposure of the infiltration of the legal system by the culture of death.

These people are just sick.

I would like to know how many pro-aborts are parents of an aborted child. My guess is that most are. And once you've allowed abortion -- and you are not sorry for it -- the evil snakes around your mind and body until it chokes every bit of decency from your heart, then soul. Sick, indeed!

[ThanhPhero]

They sound rather like old time NAZIs and Communists.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The feminazi crowd has been able to dictate what’s on TV and in the movies for too long. Now that a TV program won’t bow down and obey them, the feminazis itch and moan like a bundh of spoiled brats.

[llevrok]

I saw this episode and was surprised. L&O (and their spin offs) do not have the most balanced scripts

At last, an episode that made both sides of a controversial argument "think" rather than a platform (ala James Spader on Boston Legal) for reading a propaganda speech (now THAT'S acting).

[Political Junkie Too]

I was watching some of the CBS shows last week that surprised me in that I was waiting for the outrage. Some examples:

Monday night - CSI: Miami story about an e-coli and botulism outbreak caused by genetically altered food grown on a farm run by a greedy Big Farmer CEO.

Friday night - Numb3rs story about human cloning done by a sociopathic scientist who works for a big pharmaceutical company, and the head of security who do anything to protect the company's investment.

Generally the support of abortion is a dead story line. There is nothing redeeming or attractive about it. It only serves as an ugly, ugly, gaping void in the story of life. Programs need to support life in order to keep people caring about their storyline.

[csense]

They’re not sick, they’re evil. They know of what they do.
