Blacklist is the only thing I've been watching on TV and mostly because Spader is great chewing scenery as Reddington. Honestly, if it wasn't for him the convoluted and foolish story telling choices would've driven me off long ago.

I saw this episode last night and it was too in my face. It didn't feel like the plot line of an episode of Blacklist. The preachy SJW Law & Order SVU more likely.

While the missing white male governor didn't have the baby, going to NY instead for an abortion, the black male pastor went ahead and had his baby. The abortion councilor/provider made comments to the governor about it being illegal in his state and he said he knew, it was his law, etc. seemed out of character for a someone in her position.

She was a black female, he's a white male. He justified going forward with termination because he was "raped" but I don't see what an abortion provider could do in this context. The usual ways of killing a fetus wouldn't apply in this case.

Yes, but she kept her character by having no ethical problem helping him break the law by being perfectly willing to kill his baby anyway. As in real life, abortion is the prime directive of an abortion provider superseding all legal, moral and ethical concerns.

Another delicious irony to me was the "surgeon" who said of her daughter "What do you imagine I've been doing for the last seven years, every waking hour, every time I gaze into the loving face of my beautiful daughter? You'd think the miracle of life would erase the violent act that produced it." The daughter whose existence was the very reason she was filled with rage and hatred because she wasn't legally allowed to violently kill her.
