ABC's Scandal: Kerry Washington Aborts Baby to 'Silent Night'
Truth Revolt ^ | 11.20.2015 | Paul Bois

There really is no other way to put this story than to let out a sigh of wounded disbelief.

News 51 7519

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:

Cecile Richards ✔ @CecileRichards Mellie filibustered for Planned Parenthood & access to quality, compassionate #reprohealth for all - Congress, take note. #Scandal

Cecile Richards ✔ @CecileRichards Thank you @shondarhimes for bringing this incredibly important issue to the bajillion people watching. #Scandal 9:31 PM - 19 Nov 2015 187 187 Retweets 295 295 likes

Kerry Washington did this? Her character maybe had a fake one? Very confusing title. That would be pretty against the law if they performed an abortion on Kerry Washington on TV I would think.

So Ma Richard’s daughter thinks killing a baby on Christmas Eve is “Compassionate health care”? Too bad Ma didn’t think the same thing about her own child.

Re: Obama and abortion

"The logical import of Obama's vote against BAIPA [Born-Alive Infant Protection Act] is that he disagrees, i.e., once a baby has been targeted for abortion it thereafter has no inherent right to the food, comfort, and medical care provided to other babies born alive.

Indeed, during Illinois state senate deliberations on BAIPA, Obama stated that one of his objections was that the bill was "designed to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion." Apparently, once the decision to abort has been made, a child is doomed even if born alive."

It’s not enough to kill, they must also blaspheme.

I watched this episode. I didn’t realize it was Silent Night. I didn’t realize she was having an abortion. She was lying on the table with nothing else. Heck there was no dialogue. She might not of even had an abortion. We don’t know. She could have changed her mind. Plus was she ever pregnant in the show? Probably all a hoax.

I don’t watch the show. But it’s about the attack on Christianity that they would play ‘Silent Night’ during an abortion.

Moral corruption has so thoroughly engulfed our culture that the great a terrible evil of Islam is viewed as simply a diverse culture worthy of acceptance.

1. Neither do I.

2. Yes, it is. I'm NOT surprised. Christmas always brings out the atheists and Christ haters. It's as predictable as the insistance by so many media and Lefties that Easter is about chocolate bunnies.

Islam and PP are just different murderous cults worshipping the same master.
