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.
Okay, now I'm picturing a world class "banjoist" in slippers. *chuckle*
Why do you people continue to watch network entertainment shows? Its just a constant stream of sewage into your house and mind.
I met a beautiful 15 year old girl who was the result of a rape. She had such a beautiful smile. It's hard to believe that so many people think she should have been aborted. After meeting her I was even more confirmed in believing abortion is pure evil.
That's a cool story. Thanks for sharing it with me.
Rice works hard at whatever he does. But that basketball boob...."Lucky Shoes?"
Well, there's logic is what the culprit character says: If he is dead he can't repent.
I think it's interesting how on some episodes they make those who abort look like selfish morons, like the mom who faked abdominal pain so she could get an ultrasound and have a sex-selection abortion, or the guy who insisted on an abortion when his wife had no chance to live but could have carried the child to term. I also enjoyed it when Carter chewed Doug Cheadle up and spit him out for promting stem cell treatments that don't exist. Occasionally, they do figure out how to portray people of faith properly such as James Cromwell's Catholic bishop character or the priest who died trying to stop a gang war.
Oh, and I could listen to Parminder Nagra's voice forever.
That said, it's oversexualized post-modern claptrap, and certainly not worth your time. And I hate those jerks for killing Rocket Romano in such a stupid way, and doing it right after he'd finally started to act like a human being.
I have never watched an episode of ER.
I certainly don't intend to start now.
There was a trial show my daughter wanted to watch the other night, involved a rape victim, beaten senseless, who ended up in a catholic hospital and pregnant.
They sued the hospital for not getting her the morning after pill and won huge amount in punitive damages; the victim ended up intending to get an abortion anyway at the end.
I meant to follow up on this because the femme nazi lawyer made a convincing argument that the morning after pill was not the same as the RU486 and did not act as an abortafacient, just an emergency contraceptive. I didn't believe her.
The whole thing made me angry because it made the hospital administrator look like a fool.
I thought it was an anti-catholic hit piece.
You know what struck me about that? The guy's 23 and he's killing his sister so she doesn't have to go through another procedure for him. Um...he's 23...all he has to do is refuse the procedure and she gets her life back! I pretty much stopped watching after that, I had come to respect the show because of their excellent writing, and once you get to "perversion of the week" and plots with a hole as big as "the 23 year old doesn't know he can direct his own medical treatment" I had seen enough.
Monk is an exception. Best show on TV.
I really hated the way Rocket went out. It was like a freakin' clip from a "Final Destination" movie ..."Oh, Death didn't get him with the helicopter the first time, so he had a helicopter fall on him." Plus, they did it just as he was starting to act like a real human being.
On thursdsay CSI had the MArg Helgenberger character viciously verbally attacked a woman for running an organization that adopted out frozen embryos to adoptive mothers. And the pro-life character had a sort of dazed way of acting as if she were "drunk on God."
The thing that struck me about that CSI episode was that the guy was 23, and it never occurs to him that he can just refuse medical treatment. Absolutely, no holds barred, the biggest plot hole I've ever seen.
And who would have thought that Sarah Sidle would emerge as one of the most emotionally stable members of the team? She looked like a dog owner holding a pit bull back.
I also thought Grissom's discussion about blood was pretty condescending to those of us who love Christ and embrace science. Of course, what's funny is that if we used his standard, abortion would be murder because there's no such thing as a surgical abortion prior to 18 days.
No nuances from liberals where Catholic doctrine is concerned.
Oh it was ridiculous, trying very hard to show Catholics as hypocrits, as if one would justify murder by avoiding suicide. It was beyond absurd.
I should have stopped earlier, when it became soap opera-ish, constantly sending lefty messages.
