the good Catholic Doctor

That sure ain't Kovac.

When he was facing execution in Africa, Kovac remembered he was a Catholic. Other than that, the faith he was raised in plays a miniscule role in his life.

Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, this ping list...

Or maybe I should have posted this other one by Asay, as it concerns parental notification...

Just sent Wright an email.

Have any women played the stereotypical "pro-lifer who voices minor objections but then does the pro-choice thing anyway" role?

The only show I even consider watching regularly is "House." The episode with a nun who had a abortion in her past treated the subject far better than this ER episode.

The cynical, very-damaged House brought to light a contempt for the hippocratic oath, deriding its prohibition of seducing patients in the same sentence as he sneers at its prohibition of abortions. Such honest depravity from an anti-hero is refreshing to see amid all the moralizing depictions of superheroic pro-choice doctors.

Neither the father nor the girl's parents have any rights when it comes to abortion. The parents do need to be informed and the father doesn't get to choose whether he wants to be a father or not.

It's hopeless.

I gave up on ER a long time ago. A once-entertaining show sacrificed on the altar of PC. Plus, it's on opposite MXC - now that's must-see TV!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Kovach told her that his patients and profession comes before his religion.

As with all liberals, religion is something they can put on and take off as they want it.

[verity]

Psst. It's only another TV program depicting flawed characters.

[Gay State Conservative]

There are real Catholics and there are Kennedy/Kerry Catholics.

Just another reason I don't get cable in my house. Where I live, I get one, maybe two channels - some televangelist network (fuzzy) and sometimes QVC (if the stars are aligned and the weather is JUST right). So, no TV for me. I don't miss it at all.

I saw that program last night. They had that butchy female doctor talking about her kid and how much he looked like her g-friend, yuck!! They had the "mother -doctor" who decided to keep her baby and the tenager being advised to abort by the "catholic" doctor. This is what the world outside the US sees as being American and we wonder why some hate us? Ignorant Muslims see this and they are told that THIS is America. How else do they "know" us except by what they see from Follywood?
