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."

Depravity knows no bounds.
This is pretty normal for Elliot. You can check out his website at elliotinthemorning.com or dc101.com
I certainly can tell the difference..can you?
OMG. And you mean to tell me that they didn't yank this sicko off the air then?!
What next? A contest for the most people a serial killer has cannibalized (ala Dahmer)?
Also, what intelligent person would knowingly listen to someone classified as a "shock jock" with their children in earshot? You couldn't pay me to listen to any of these bozos (Howard Stern, etc.).
Thats right. More than offending the sensibilities of a few here, what is exposed is the Client of the Aborition Culture, which is what the political left fears more than anything else....
16 abortions, are on the soul of this freak. He can literally go to hell, since he has broken the law of God
16 times.
Thou shall not kill, is a commandment, not an option.
Ops4 God Bless America!
It was a different DJ, but they did fire him.
I remember back in the day when Rush performed 'caller abortions'. Everybody flipped.
How about a contest where the winner gets to suck the brains out of this idiot with a vacuum?
Hm, on 2nd thought, that won't take long enough.
Putrid.
Did he write Love Story?
How about a jump to conclusion contest. What you do is read a biased article that ignores facts, and then you your turn personal opinion into facts. The winner gets a writing position at Newsweek.
we reap what we sow...
everything, I mean EVERYTHING comes down to character and values and morals....
unless we start disassembling the horrid pop culture that is endemic, we are going down the toilet....
Yes! I remember those calls and the reactions. Hasn't taken long for society to sink even lower.
"I just don't think Eliot should be taken off the air." Do you think the owners of the stations have a right to 'remove this show' from the airways the owners have right to control? Or are you one of those who believes the owners must be made to comply with minority opinion?
A Howard Stern type?
"How about a jump to conclusion contest. What you do is read a biased article that ignores facts, and then you your turn personal opinion into facts. The winner gets a writing position at Newsweek."
I made a sarcastic comment the entirety of which implied that the radio host doesn't have much in the way of brains. I think you're reading too much into it.
But didn't Howie Dean just say that nobody ever really feels good about having an abortion?
I think the Left started howling, saying it was tasteless and all that.
