A recent episode of NBC’s crime drama “Law & Order” featured an IVF doctor left in an irreversible coma after her clinic was bombed by an angry pro-lifer who is retaliating against the clinic for destroying human embryos.
But it’s clear that this storyline wasn’t given much critical thought; after all, if pro-lifers believe destroying unused embryos is murder, then it wouldn’t logically hold that they would bomb an IVF clinic filled with these stored, unused embryos.
As Newsbusters reported, in the episode, a white man wearing a “Jeremy 15” bracelet was said to be the bomber, with three characters — Detectives Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) and Vincent Riley (Reid Scott), and Lieutenant Jessica Brady (Maura Tierney) — discussing the eyeroll-inducing, clichéd meaning behind the bracelet:
Brady: Was he able to give you a description of the bomber?
Shaw: One that fits half of New York City.
Brady: What about security cameras in the area where the bag was supposedly handed off?
Shaw: We’re not gonna have a lot of luck down there. Most of the cameras are busted. The one thing he did give us was that the so-called perp might go by the name Jeremy.
Riley: All right, what if Jeremy 15 is actually Jeremiah 1:5? “Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee.” 13 years of Catholic school. But blue bag, pink box. Those are pro-life colors.
Brady: And our vic’s a fertility doctor, right?
Riley: Yeah.
Brady: Well, that’s close enough for some anti-choice people these days. Check it out.
From there, the detectives visited the IVF clinic, where a staffer, who refers to abortions as “medically necessary,” corrects them about what the pro-life movement is. “The anti-choice, anti-science, anti-woman groups, you mean?” she asks. That led to an exchange about the horror of fetal personhood laws.
Nurse: [Sighs] The largest embryo we ever freeze is a mere 100 cells, invisible to the human eye, but the Alabama Supreme Court just ruled those cells a human life.
Shaw: And I bet the fetal personhood movement doesn’t like you guys destroying unused embryos.
Nurse: They think it’s mass murder.
But if the “fetal-personhood,” “anti-choice,” “anti-science,” “anti-woman,” — am I forgetting one? There were so many insults to keep track of — movement sees destroying unused human embryos as “mass murder,” then why would a character from such a movement bomb a facility where those unused, frozen human embryos are stored, becoming “mass murderers” themselves?
Later in the episode, Assistant District Attorney Samantha Maroun is angered when the bomber, Patrick Wayne, can’t be charged with murder, as the IVF doctor is not officially dead; she’s portrayed as brain dead, but still breathing. So instead, Wayne can only be charged with attempted murder. “He killed a woman for giving other women reproductive choices,” she says in the episode. “And Patrick Wayne is not some lone lunatic. He is part of a movement, a growing movement, who is mounting an attack on women’s rights. We have to send a message!”
But let’s get back to real life, shall we? Let’s see… remind me… who issued death threats against Supreme Court Justices after Roe v. Wade was overturned? Who threw pipe bombs into pro-life ministries and vandalized and terrorized pro-life pregnancy help centers after Roe was overturned? Who vandalized pro-life churches? The majority (at least 70%) of post-Dobbs violence — according to the FBI — has been perpetrated by pro-abortion activists against pro-lifers, despite being downplayed by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice.
Pro-lifers and those who support their right to free speech, and even pro-life politicians, have received death threats. Pro-lifers have been threatened with guns (more here, here, and here), knives, and bombs. Some perpetrators have actually gone through with those threats, stabbing and shooting pro-lifers. Other pro-life advocates have been punched, kicked, attacked with Molotov cocktails, been victims of home vandalization, and more. Elderly pro-lifers are also not exempt from being targeted. Abortion activists have attempted to run over pro-life advocates numerous times just for standing outside abortion facilities to pray or offer alternatives to women.
This only got worse after Roe fell.
A 2022 study from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) found there were 22 times as many attacks against pro-life organizations as pro-abortion organizations. Between May (when the Dobbs decision was leaked) and September of 2022, there were 135 attacks against pro-life groups; comparatively, there were just six attacks against abortion organizations.
“The bottom line is that after the Dobbs decision was leaked, there was over 22 times more violence directed against pro-life groups than pro-choice organizations,” the CPRC said. “However, if the media is less likely to cover violence [against] pro-life organizations, the 22 times estimate will underestimate the relative violence against these groups.”
After the Dobbs draft leak, pro-abortion group “Jane’s Revenge” threatened a “Night of Rage,” should Roe be overturned. They kept their promise, carrying out attacks on pregnancy centers, pro-life offices, and churches. Another pro-abortion group, “Ruth Sent Us,” doxxed the Supreme Court justices, organized protests in front of their homes, and even made threats against two of the justices’ children. They published explicit directions on how to get to the school Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s children attended, and targeted Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s wife, Ashley, with a tweet that included a picture taken outside her children’s school. This culminated in an assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh.
Yet in “Law & Order’s” delusional world of psychological projection, it is the pro-life movement that is filled with angry, violent criminals eager to murder innocent people.
The first years were the best years.
It would be silly to expect anything but mind control from the globalist media.
In general, I like the “Law & Order” franchise. And that’s because they concentrate on telling solid crime stories. They usually don’t throw in silly and distracting side stories about the detectives.
But oh are they prejudiced against Christians and Christian values. See a suspect wearing a Christian cross? You can pretty much bet that he/she will end up being the murderer.
did they do a “kermit gosnell” episode?
As a way of the place not being creepily silent after my dear wife died at home unexpectedly in February, 2022, I have watched hundreds of detective shows and the Law and Order and spinoff ones.
To me, the Dick Wolf franchise shows prove that the American system of law does not work. How many times has the miscarriage of justice let the bad guys go and punished the innocents? A person pulling out a handgun on the court steps or in the hallway solves the loose ends on TV land but not in real life.
No but I’m pretty sure they did a George Tiller one!
The synagouge of satan thinks that we don’t see them.
Actors, not critical thinkers.... They make A$$es of themselves to project their politics on their sleeves, but they never once stopped to think about their stupidly and what they were acting about.
NBC is Comcast. Comcast hates America. Comcast hates you!
Reruns of The Untouchables, Lawless Years, Ironside, and Rockford are my typical fare.
If we'd had been more vigilant, September 11th would still be known as Bear Bryant's birthday.
That episode was the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline on this thread!
I quit watching after 2010
Years ago, I researched abortion clinic attacks. For every attack, 17 churches were bombed or burned. Shhh . . . .
Eric Robert Rudolph who was responsible for bombing the Centennial Olympic Park bombing at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He also bombed an abortion clinic in a suburb of Atlanta, & an abortion clinic in Birmingham Alabama in 1997. He was living in a tent in the mountains of North Carolina for 5 years before his capture in 2003. He entered into a plea agreement to avoid the death penalty. As part of the pleas agreement, he led them to 250 pounds of dynamite hidden in the NB.C. mountains.
All of the L&O versions have become such disgusting leftist, racist propaganda as to cease even being slightly entertaining.
