Did anyone catch the "ER" episode tonight? It was a direct affront to pro-lifers and Catholics. Luka pushed the whole "personally opposed" agenda. Parental notification was also attacked as the young, pregnant girl was, with Luka's help, able to lie and circumvent the authority of her parents.
NBC will here from this Pro Life Catholic.
NBC will respond by saying: "We're sorry if this episode offended you. To make it up, please watch 'The Book of Daniel' tomorrow.
I stopped watching long ago after everybody had slept with everybody else, and they were bringing in new characters just to have new people to sleep with. Zzzzzzzzzz....
You referred to one character by name, so I'm guessing you watch the show regularly.
I only watched it the first two seasons. I caught parts of it twice a couple of years ago and both times it was so morbidly depressing (both had babies die) that I can't believe people can watch it habitually.
I gave up on ER and NBC a long time ago. The Book of Daniel only indicates that I didn't make a mistake.
Good luck. I stopped watching ER when they kept foisting their homosexual agenda into the show. Plus it just got boring after a while.
Evidently "ER" didn't get the message --

Poll Finds High School Seniors Take Pro-Life Position on Abortion

Hamilton, NY -- A new national poll finds high school seniors take a pro-life position on abortion saying it's morally wrong and supporting legislative proposals that would limit abortions and help women find alternatives. The poll also found 72 percent of females in the class of 2006 would not consider an abortion if they became pregnant.
The Hamilton College poll found a majority of high school seniors do not believe abortions should be allowed for sociological reasons such as when women are too poor to afford another child or unable to have a baby at the time.
Studies from the Alan Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, find approximately 95 percent of all abortions are done for such reasons, while less than 5 percent are for rape or incest or to save the life of the mother.
When asked, some 67 percent of high school seniors said abortion is either always (23%) or usually (44%) morally wrong. Just 31 percent said it was a morally correct decision.
Slightly less than half of the teens polled said abortions should be allowed when a woman is under 18 and unmarried or when the baby will have a serious birth defect. Just 40 percent said abortions should be allowed for poor women and only 29 percent said abortions should be allowed when a woman doesn't want more children.
Some 72 percent of teen girls say they would not consider an abortion and, of all high school seniors, just 13 percent would counsel a pregnant friend to consider an abortion. Some 54 percent of seniors say they would suggest adoption and 26 percent say they would encourage a pregnant friend to keep her baby.
Meanwhile, 69 percent of the male teens surveyed said they would not want their partner to consider an abortion.
No mention in this "show about doctors" that the original Hippocratic Oath had an explicit statement prohibiting the doctor performing or being involved in an abortion. Go read the original Hippocratic Oath ... "nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure an abortion."
Me too. I used to love ER back in its hayday. Hasn't that show jumped the shark a long time ago?
The first few seasons were awesome; it's a pity to see how far that show has faded.
I'm still a big fan of doctor dramas though. However, nowadays, I get my fix by watching Grey's Anatomy.
Watch "Dancing with the Stars" instead.
I'm waiting for the Skating with the Stars, or whatever they are going to call it!
My son and I watch WWE (see my tagline). So we had to watch. Stacy Keibler was really good, and Jerry Rice was surprisingly good.
The agenda-driven propaganda just keeps on coming, doesn't it? They never miss a beat.
This TV season is really, really full of politicized stories; it's worse than ever.
NBC used to have good comedy and mostly good drama. Now the only thing good coming out of the Peacock network is Law & Order (all the various incarnations of it--they're still pretty good)...
I still wish they kept Paul Sorvino on there. Lenny Briscoe was great, but they should have brought Sorvino back when Jerry died. Dennis Farina is not that good and CBS was wise to drop him and Buddy Faro like 3rd period french. Profaci was a badass cop too. What happened to him or Logan? It seems the only actor/actress with any staying power on there is S. Epatha Merkesson.
So much of that crap on TV nowadays.
I watched CSI the other night- and it ended with a young man being arrested for murder in a (Catholic) church, while praying. Seems he killed his sister to spare her suffering, when asked why he didn't kill himself instead (long story short-she was suffering for him), he replied "because it's an unpardonable sin".
Meanwhile the top CSI guy (it's insinuated he's not religious) is praised for "doing God's work". So the Catholic is a hypocrite and the agnostic/athiest is the real saint.
