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

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.

Yet, the physician and the girl did abort the baby. I think you are being kind. The pro-lifers were depicted as being very legalistic, uncaring, and mean -- even spiteful.
