And yet, when a decision needed to be made, they decided that a ban on abortion was necessary for the survival of humanity.

Survival, over loving concern for innocent human beings, morality, responsibility to God, right.

"The Human Race" in the first two seasons were representative of western civilization engaged in a war of civilizations after a great calamity. Much of those seasons were dealing with the internal battle between security, practicality, and military necessity versus liberal weak-livered utopianism and fantasy thinking. In the end, liberal utopianism won out, the people were convinced to return to the fantasy of a "pre-911" life, the military was diminished....and a far greater tragedy resulted. Defeat. A great message and great two seasons.

Now the producers are using that culmination to explore the other side and hold up a mirror to it. I'm not afraid of them doing that.

Given that they don't share our conception of God, I would not expect them to make a decision on that basis. I do agree that the innocence of the child was definitely a missing element in the argument. But I'm not going to demand that a TV show be as thorough on each topic it addresses as I would demand of a court or a legislature.
