I suspect alot of conservatives watch CSI because it is one of the few intelligent shows on tv. And yet they slapped us across the face with this one. I don't mind controversy, but I fail to see why anyone would be hostile to the idea of giving life a chance. It's not like they are out there rounding up unwilling women and impregnating them. I cannot understand why even a pro choice advocate would be against what the real organization (Snowflake) does. They could easily have had one of the CSI folk take the opposite position, praising what they do etc, to at least appear even handed.
And of course, the misuse of scripture was absurd. Sadly, alot of people don't know anything about the real program to adopt out these embryos and will take this show as the truth. How very sad, but typical of Hollywood.

Actually, overall the show tends to run conservative (or at least not overtly lib like most stuff on the networks). A couple of years ago they took a very pro-death penalty stance in one of their episodes and actually include religious people that aren't portrayed as complete freaks.
And it's still the show that has my favorite TV line ever: "That's as phony as a Chappaquiddick neck brace." (at a staged crime scene.)
I'm glad someone started this thread. I was so annoyed when the Helgenberg character started making those snide comments. The whole section was set up to mock people who are pro life. They made the woman who ran the Sunflower program seem like a weirdo, also. Then, when the Helgenberger character defended her comments to her superior and he smirked his way out of reprimanding her, that was really too far.
The left needs to mock things like embryonic implantation/rescue because to do otherwise might make them actually have to face the fact that "the little blob of tissue" is actually as nascent human being.
