I thought it had a great “pro-life” message! Perhaps that is because I am Pro-life.
I wondered if anyone else had the same “gut-reaction” I had. I’m pretty calloused. A mother of five, and grandmother. It’s been awhile since abortion has been formost in my thoughts, but when that 21 week old fetus (while undergoing an out-of-uterus surgical procedure tried to grasp Dr. House’s hand, and he in turn stoked the tiny fist, the tears welled and spilled onto my cheeks.
Honestly, my husband and my 22 year old son thought I’d lost my mind. ..But none of us could speak for several minutes. I thought it was FINE television!
It did have a great pro-life message. I’m not sure how that snuck in there, since we’ve seen at least one abortion on House.
Life Magazine had some cool photos back in 1999 taken during an in utero surgery, of a baby’s hand grasping at the surgeon’s finger. Hits ya right in the heart. I wish I had those saved somewhere.
