No one may ever accuse actress Kerry Washington of being merely a leftist poser in terms of abortion rights, certainly not after last night's episode of ABC's Scandal, which featured her alter-ego Olivia Pope – the show's main character – having an abortion while the beloved Christmas tune "Silent Night" played in the background.
You read that correctly. Kerry Washington and the producers of Scandal actually had the nerve to show the main character abort her and the President's baby to the tune of the most iconic song ever produced about the birth of Jesus Christ.
There really is no other way to put this story than to let out a sigh of wounded disbelief. It was bad enough that Kerry Washington wore a gold crucifix during a pro-abortion PSA back in 2012, but this makes that gesture look like Mother Theresa advertising a new hospital.
After having aborted her child, the episode concludes with Washington sipping a glass of wine while she fondly looks upon her Christmas tree just as "Ave Maria" fades over the soundtrack.
Naturally, feminists adored the episode, including Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, who tweeted in the show's favor after it aired:
You would think that with all the persecution of christians around the world, that somebody would take notice. But here in the USA, no one cares.
