NBC’s 'Law & Order' Paint Pro-Lifers as Violent Murderers
Newsbusters ^ | 30 Sep 2022 | Tierin-Rose Mandelburg

Even though the pro-life movement sets its goal to save lives, the left will stop at nothing to paint pro-lifers as villains.

In Thursday night's Law & Order episode titled “Battle Lines,” numerous anti-life talking points were emphasized. The episode used a murder case of the daughter of a fictional Texas governor to push the abortion narrative, as well as the murder of an abortion activist to paint pro-lifers as the threats in the abortion debate.

One scene displayed a conversation between the characters Executive Assistant District Attorney Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston).

The pair discussed the incident with Becca Carter, daughter of TX Gov. Carter who was murdered by her brother, Blake Carter. The detectives also discuss the mother, Barbara Carter’s role in the situation.

I didn't know the were still producing new episodes of L&O. The issue with long long running TV shows is that the plots get ever more outlandish as they have already mined any credible story lines. But this one - a brother kills his sister because she had an abortion?!

I don't suppose there will be an episode dramatizing the attacks on pregnancy crisis centers next month?! Or black hate crimes against Asians?! Or the hit-and-run murder of a young conservative by some crazed loon Dem supporter?!

Well, you didn'tknow because it's only watched by bitter single white liberal women whose only companionship are cats. Hence, the leftist luancy in the plot lines.

The mainstream government-corporate media and propaganda have been slowly turning up the heat on conservatives, Christians and small-government people for decades now.

There is almost nothing left in these media that is not perversion or propaganda.

Its time to accept the fact you are an enemy of the state and society.

They really want a civil war, don’t they?

Just finished a psychology class, where the PPT was about child abuse, and the very first slide was of a Bible, and of the Bible being the source of all forms of child abuse —

We stopped watching that series a long time ago. It had gone completely off the rails. Olivia had gone full-woke shrew.

I saw that disgusting episode. Or to be more specific, I watched it until I saw where it was going. Then I switched over to “The Andy Griffith Show”. Griffith himself might have been a major liberal. But he never let it seep into his show.

Gotta give him credit for that.

Isn’t that the truth? That’s exactly what created the phrase “jumped the shark.”

Stopped watching long ago because every homeschooling family was depicted as evil.

Law and Order has a history of “ripped from the headlines” stories where they take a story with a black perp and white victim, and switch the rolls to white perp, black victim. Blacks are always judges, lawyers, doctors, teachers, scientists, but almost never criminals. Almost all their criminals are white.

And here’s something else. In ‘Law and Order’ you’ll sometimes see a witness or a suspect wearing a crucifix. That person will turn out to be the murderer nine times out of ten.

A coincidence? I think not.

L&O has always been a leftist propaganda tool. Of course they would use a show with that title as a platform for every Liberal talking point. Whenever I watch I count how many minutes it will take before they toss in some leftist BS before I turn it off. Typically it less than 5 minutes.

Is that crap still on? I swear I used to give my wife grief 25 years ago over the exact same episode.

The old Law & Order used to be more balanced. They actually had Angie Harmon arguing about abortion and where it was in the Constituion. And later Fred Thompson.

Hubby watches all the L&O reruns. Going back decades, the writers always portrayed pro lifers as nuts and killers. Nothing new in their attitudes.

When Michael Moriarty left the show became complete trash.

It was only 60% trash prior.
