I think it’s a reach because you’re missing the important emotional difference.

The kid in the TV show was a character specifically designed to create empathy in the audience. Aborted kids, born alive or otherwise, are basically a statistic. Even though the aborted kids are real they don’t feel real to the majority of people. The human mind isn’t good at grasping large numbers, and it’s really not good at turning number (even small ones) into objects of empathy. Aborted kids are “faceless”, it takes either a strong empathic nature or mental effort to link to them. TV show characters have faces, it’s really easy to empathize with them, that’s the whole point of the story.

Thanks for your reply, n00bie, but the abortion murdered children are the real and the TV the imagined. The point is, these program venues could change the course of our nation, from the evil Barack Obama protected in Illinois, to embrace the lives of these little ones, these real human beings.
