Radio Jock Holds Abortion 'Contest'

From Anne Newman of Operation Outcry:
Silent No More (www.operationoutcry.org):

"Earlier this week [of May 15, 2005], shock jock Elliot Segal of Washington, DC's radio station DC101 decided it would be hilarious to hold a contest with a prize for the listener who had the most abortions. While this contest was disgusting by its very nature, the offense was compounded because he held the competition on public airwaves during early morning hours, when people are driving to work and bringing their children to school. The 'contest' featured at least one potential statutory rape, two medical assaults and a number of callers proud of the children they had aborted.

"One caller, identified as K-Dog, proudly asserted that he was responsible for 16 abortions between two different women. K-Dog's second wife called in to proudly verify the 5 abortions she had with him. Graphic descriptions and crude jokes were included. Such depravity has no place on public airwaves.

"DC101's parent company, Clear Channel Communications, won applause last year when it dropped Howard Stern because he was deemed too offensive and controversial. It appears this brief dance with decency was merely a publicity stunt, as Stern alleged at the time.

"Please contact Clear Channel and ask them to send a message by firing this schlock jock."

"One caller, identified as K-Dog, proudly asserted that he was responsible for 16 abortions between two different women. K-Dog's second wife called in to proudly verify the 5 abortions she had with him. Graphic descriptions and crude jokes were included.

Unfortunately, there is no end in sight.

Howard Stern wannabe?

Then they overshot the mark! I believe Howard Stern (odd as it sounds) is pro-life.

[SoftballMominVA]

This is what moral relativism and 'do whatever makes you feel good at the time' has brought. I'm not even shocked by this kind of stuff any more.

[tfecw]

Naw he's usually pretty funny. I heard this one on the way to work. A little tasteless but a tad overstated in the article.

Then again, they could have just turned off the radio. What? personal choice? Nope, call in the gubmit to take care of it.

I'm sure all 16 of those abortions K-Dog was responsible for were for the health of the mother. It probably went something like: "Get that abortion beeee-otch or I'll whip yo ass." I hope he gets syphyllis and it goes untreated.

I believe Howard Stern (odd as it sounds) is pro-life.

Not even a little. In fact, he proposed solving NYC’s pothole problem with a plan to fill the pot holes with fetuses.

He is pro-gun though.

We get this guy on 102X down here in Richmond, too. He's about as funny as a dentist's drill, and just as annoying. Stern, at least, has (had?) real talent, and built up a good support staff around him--Jackie, Billy West, Robin, etc. Elliot just sounds like a whiny jackass Stern wannabe, and he's not even funny. He's not 1% as funny as Doug "The Greaseman" Tracht was in the mornings on DC101.

"Get that abortion beeee-otch..."


I believe it was "You betta goes and gets aborshind beeee-otch..."

IIRC This is the same radio station that got into trouble with Martin Luther King day back in the late 80's. Reagan had just signed the bill making MLK day a holiday, and one of the DJ's went on the air and said "why not just kill four more ni**ers, that way we can take the whole week off."

This is disgusting, but not surprising. The culture of death has done a very good job of convincing many people that this is just a "glob of cells" rather than a viable life.

[NRA1995]

Since this came from the home of the Greaseman and Howard Stern, I'm not surprised by this at all.....

[Prov3456]

On the other hand, this program might influence the "fence-sitters" who believe that abortion is wrong but they "wouldn't want to force a woman to carry to term against her will."

Programs like this demonstrate clearly for all to see (and hear) that abortion is used as birth control, that the greatest beneficiaries of abortion are the men, and that the abortion-lobby's words of the past 32 years have been lies.

I think this is very good. It will force people to think of the abortion issue in real terms and not in some abstract lawyer/NOW spin meister audio cut. One day they are going to show films of abortions (including partial birth abortions) on TV or in a movie - it will damage the "pro-choice" movement beyond repair...

and bringing their children to school.

If the parent is listening to a shock jock while driving the kids to school, the problem is a bad parent, not a bad broadcaster.

[OB1kNOb]

Sounds like Clear Channel needs to "abort" schlock-jock Elliot Segal from their employment. Now THAT would be hilarious radio.

[FlatLandBeer]

Same radio station Stern started at. UMMMMMMMMMM
