Charlotte Taft writes that "NBC cannot hide behind the words" by stating that the story is fictitious. For the media to make a negative story so blatantly ripped off the death of "St. George," as she dubs Tiller, is to murder him again. "There is no balance here," she says.
These people are just sick.

You can add "and lazy, crippled, blind and crazy" to that (from a spiritual standpoint, that is).
In addition, former nurse turned pro-life activist Jill Stanek has also related that while working at a hospital in Illinois, numerous babies born alive after failed abortions were simply left to die in the "soiled utility room."
The hospital in question was a subsidiary of the church that Barack Obama belonged to in Chicago, where Rev. Wright was pastor. Just the right sort of church for Obama.
One of the characters made some eloquent arguments against abortion, and another character actually moved from a pro-abortion position to a seemingly pro-life position. Overall, it was shocking to see such deference giving to the pro-life movement, especially on NBC and on "Law & Order", in particular.
Imagine, ONE pro-life episode has such an impact, when they have been regurgitating their pro-infanticide propaganda on TV shows and the media, for how many years now???
I actually saw the episode and was fairly pleased with it.
Jill Stanek was warning the pro-life movement about Zero before most Americans knew who he was.
I was surprisingly pleased. I didn’t agree with everything, but it was far better than I ever thought it would be.
Have not seen an episode since they did an Iraq War rant that had absolutely nothing to do with the storyline.
Interesting, but I haven’t watched “Law And Odor” in years.
“Kate Harding complained on Salon.com that the episode features only two groups: ‘Anti-choicers, who believe fetuses’ rights trump women’s, and the pseudo-pro-choicers, who are conveniently persuaded to agree with them by the end of the episode.”
I know I’m mostly preaching to the choir here at FR, but a couple talking points in response to this:
1. There is no right to kill another living human being without cause, either in the Constitution or the moral law.
2. The “fetus” does not trump the woman’s rights: both have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit to happiness. If anything, the woman’s own responsibility to maintain her child’s right to such is what trumps any of her alleged claims that a baby would interfere too much with her life.
3. It’s telling that Ms. Harding thinks only “pseudo-pro-choicers” could possibly be persuaded by pro-life arguments. Perhaps we have a political variant of Calvinism here: once depraved, always depraved. (Actually, come to think of it, that’s part of Calvinism too!)
Rats and other vermin scurry away from the light, which in this case is the truth!
Ultimately, that's all we can ask for - a fair portrayal and airing of both positions. I'd be happy with that, for no other reason because I think the pro-life message is a more compelling one and more likely to be persuasive, which is exactly why the radical pro-abortionists are so displeased with this episode.
That scene where the nurse testified about the baby that survived the abortion was incredibly powerful - a real tearjerker.
The second chair prosecutor finally refused orders to violate ethics rules and reported the crime to the police authorities, court and defense council, a major exposure of the infiltration of the legal system by the culture of death.
Haven’t you gotten the directive? Thinking is most definitely not part of the pro abortion or even the normal liberal agenda.
I am very encouraged to hear about this. Thanks for posting some good news. I hope some who needed to hear “our side” got to hear it.
Calvinism does not teach “once depraved, always depraved.” It is “once saved, always saved,” in other words, you can’t lose your salvation.
If it was “once depraved, always depraved” no one could be saved.
Good grief, it’s a joke. Surely there’s something in the Institutes about having a sense of humor.
But anyway, you’re wrong: Calvinism teaches that there is no moment of salvation, only a previous moment of predestination, so anyone not among the elect really is “always depraved.”
