It's just a TV show. House is a fictional character who happens to be an asshole. That's part of his appeal.
"South Park" did a recent episode in which Cartman tries to persuade a pregnant Mexican girl to get an abortion, "just cheat that little critter in your belly out of life."
Of course it’s a TV show. Of course it’s fiction, but the point is that a major TV program chose to depict a reenactment of the famous unborn baby reaching out of mother’s womb photo shot. It beats the heck out of the all the pandering the TV shows do to draw attention to liberal causes.
