PBS Doubles Down, Hosts Video Chat With Producers of Film “Humanizing” Late-Term Abortions

Millions of pro-life people may be up in arms about a pro-abortion film PBS will air this evening that “humanizes” late-term abortions, but the taxpayer-funded network doesn’t seem to care.

Instead, it’s announced it is hosting a live video chat with the producers of the film, “After Tiller,” that glorifies late-term abortion practitioners. PBS posted a promotional for the chat on Saturday. Some pro-life groups are already encouraging pro-life advocates to be involved so the chat is not a one-sided affair in favor of abortion.

RSVP and join the conversation on Google+ »

pbsOn Tuesday, September 2, 2014, from 1 PM to 2 PM ET (10-11 AM PT), After Tiller subject Dr. Susan Robinson, filmmakers Martha Shane and Lana Wilson, and journalist Irin Carmon are taking your questions in a live video chat about the complexities and ethics of third-trimester abortions.

In the promotional, PBS continues to describe the movie as “humanizing” the destruction of human life in late-term abortions.

Martha Shane and Lana Wilson’s After Tiller is a deeply humanizing and probing portrait of the only four doctors in the United States still openly performing third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas—and in the face of intense protest from abortion opponents. It is also an examination of the desperate reasons women seek late abortions. Rather than offering solutions, After Tiller presents the complexities of these women’s difficult decisions and the compassion and ethical dilemmas of the doctors and staff who fear for their own lives as they treat their patients.

Let us know you’re coming and get your questions in early by RSVPing on the Google+ event page. You can also leave your question as a comment on this post.

ACTION: You can complain about the pro-abortion video chat and ask for equal time for the pro-life side by contacting PBS’ POV on Facebook or on Twitter @povdocs.

As LifeNews.com has reported, “After Tiller” profiles and promotes Warren Hern, Shelley Sella, LeRoy Carhart, and Susan Robinson, some of the last third-trimester abortionists left in the United States.

On September 1, PBS will be showing the pro-abortion propaganda film “After Tiller” that seeks to sanitize the practice of killing unborn children after viability in late-term abortions. The station also provides resources for people to host an at-home viewing party.

The movie “humanizes” late-term abortions and puts killing babies in abortions in “compassionate” terms.

Will this film show Kermit Gosnell’s collection of fetal feet in jars? That would be SO empowering to women.

This studio, in a just world, would be firebombed. just sayin’

And these sick sadistic **** do not “treat their patients’, they carry out executions of children for money. Can you think of any profession more depraved than that.

PBS is known for showing explicit content at times, perhaps if they are so proud of late term abortion, and demystifying it, they would care to record 10 procedures and select one for broadcast.

Confronted with the horrors they champion, they might have a change of heart.
