I don't even watch this show.

What the author of the article considers so newsworthy is how culturally mainstream and "ho hum" abortion has become.

Put bluntly: Hearts have become deadened.

Hearts have become deadened.

And they are so proud of it!

As it is on most TV programs today. Brainwashing at its best,

This was the television critic!?

This among the many reasons why I LOATHE the MSM. One can’t simply write about the the program or medium but has to pimp for abortion on the entertainment page.

culturally mainstream and "ho hum"

Just what the SS guards must have thought: just another train to Auschwitz.

I now know why my parents absolutely loathed the show ‘Maude.’

With phones, Facebook and the Wii, who has interest in TV?

If I remember correctly, from back in 1999 when I had one, it’s a big, square, heavy thing, and you press buttons and mutter “nothing’s on,” and you press more buttons and mutter “nothing’s on,” and then you press MORE buttons, and mutter “nothing’s on.” Then you go outside.

I don’t think I’ll bother - sounds like it would waste valuable freeping time.

Why would one ever expect a doctor who doesn’t want to get pregnant to be able to avoid pregnancy?

Never mind. In real life, I know a doctor who fathered six children, the first two aborted, the last two unplanned and stressful.

Why don’t people with a scientific and mathematical understanding who really really don’t want pregnancy either use two independent methods, which bring the chances of pregnancy to less than 1 in 1000, or get sterilized, same odds.

Clinton’s “safe legal and rare” speech about his daughter who wanted to design space stations so she needed abortion available - wouldn’t redundancy be second nature to an aerospace engineer? Nah, the cognitive elite get carried away like the hoi polloi and they NEED abortion.

As a general rule, anything with Gothic script and the word “Times” belongs in the garbage.

Let’s not overgeneralize - it can come in handy when it’s time to housebreak a pet.

we didn’t notice because we stopped watching a long time ago ...

when the show descended into a cesspool of liberal filth.

The article isn't about abortion becoming "ho-hum".

It's about the writer's view that abortion should occur for any reason that the mother of the pre-born baby to be killed wants the abortion to happen, without requiring any justification by circumstances or anything else.

The writer of the article has that view, as most abortion advocates do, and has been eager to say it, as most abortion advocates are.

The stupid TV show she references is her vehicle for doing so.

Don’t want to be a mother? Don’t have sex or use protection. There are plenty of options pertaining to birth control.
