New Comedy 'Superstore' Tries to Make Abortion Funny, Fails Miserably

After making racist jokes in a previous episode, the new NBC comedy Superstore opened the episode titled "Mannequin" with jokes about abortion and Planned Parenthood.

Praised by Jonah (Ben Feldman) for choosing to keep her baby despite still being in high school, Cheyenne (Nichole Bloom) casually admits she's only keeping her baby because she "couldn't get a ride to Planned Parenthood." (Cue the pro-abortion feminist screams about abortion access and the need for late term abortions.) Jonah helpfully offers to give her a ride, prompting Glenn to chime in, "I'd prefer if you didn't offer to shuttle our employees to the abortion clinic."

How often do you hear Planned Parenthood referred to as an "abortion clinic" in the media rather than as a "reproductive health care provider?" Planned Parenthood hates the word abortion, why else would they focus on euphamisms like "women's health" and claim that "only" 3 percent of their services are abortion? While other shows spread the propaganda Planned Parenthood wants you to hear about what they do, Superstore just comes right out and calls it what it is, "Abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion!"

More proof that liberalism is contrary to human nature, and therefore insanity.

“Murder, murder, murder, murder!” and Mothers have killed more in 35 short years than all of mankind’s wars and health epidemics through history combined.

1.35 Billion killed since 1980 and it is no joking matter. Imagine, how many of these mothers will end up in hel, because they think it is simply a joking matter and will never even bother to seek reconciliation, much less receive it.

Here you have a potentially funny concept....a group of misfit employees working in what appears to be a Walmart store.

But what does it turn into? Jokes about abortion and bashing the Christian guy. Same old same old.

And until Modern Family stops winning Emmys, TV sitcoms are going to remain that way.

abortion is wrong but it doesn’t determine whether on not you get to heaven. the thief on the cross next to Jesus for example. just sayin.

“Some know faster ways to hell than others.”

Well, why wait at the back of the line when you can jump up front?

It’s been ages since I watched a sitcom. I do record “Last Man Standing” and watch it when I think about it.

I suspect there are a whole lot of people who cite the wrong "thief on the cross."

I wonder if you can see babies in the stands of heaven holding “Hi Mom” signs...from Hell.

That thief saw the divinity of Jesus and proclaimed it. These b*tches don’t. With all the knowledge they can access, they still make unconscionable choices. That’s a vast difference in comportment.

This reminds of how the TV networks have tried to make divorce funny, with such shows as Reba. Pathetic.

HuffPo: How Pop Culture Can Change The Way We Talk About Abortion

"So, how do we tackle that stigma? By sharing these narratives when and where we can. By refusing to stay silent. By continuing to demand to see seemingly un-special, un-traumatizing, "normal" abortion stories in the media or on screen."

I believe they’ll be able to see their babies.

The Apocalypse of Peter:

25. And near that place I saw another strait place into which the gore and the filth of those who were being punished ran down and became there as it were a lake: and there sat women having the gore up to their necks, and over against them sat many children who were born to them out of due time, crying; and there came forth from them sparks of fire and smote the women in the eyes: and these were the accursed who conceived and caused abortion.
