The first two seasons the show raked the liberals over the coals. Now they are turning it around. I have no complaints with a show that whacks on both sides. My problem is with shows that whack only one.

How many sides are you on? :-)

BTW, Season 2 had an episode that was decidedly pro-abortion in its sentiments and characterizations.

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

I didn't take it that way at all. Adama's line reminding her that she had said "if we are going to save the human race we better start having babies"...was a direct reference to Western civilization birthrate. They did not end up aborting the baby.

I took it in the context that the colonial side was a representation of Western civilization all through those two seasons. With the folly of liberalism leading them to "forget" the enemy. The abortion episode as representative of Western civilization's stagnant population fits for that context.

This season they are switching it. The colonials are representatives of the insurgency. I don't mind, they showed the other side very well. I am not afraid of seeing the switch.

You mean the episode where abortion was banned in the interests of human survival? Yeah. That's really pro-abort when someone who claims to favor that "freedom" decides she has to ban it anyway. < /sarcasm >
