American Horror Story TV series criticized for demonizing abortion

The most terrifying aspect of American Horror Story isn’t the shocking gore or gasping plot twists.

  • In the Washington Times, Cathy Cleaver Ruse discusses the depths of Representative Jerrold Nadler’s ignorance:

Adultery promoter seeks temptress for Tebow

As a former sports attorney I have seen with my own eyes the night in and night out temptations that are placed in front of professional athletes.

HBO show “Girls” goes for laughs with abortion

But in Girls, the abortion talk is the comic relief. The show’s second episode, “Vagina Panic,” is partially set in a Manhattan health clinic. Shoshanna, Marnie, and Hannah have shown up to support their fourth friend, flighty, pregnant Jessa (she’s the Samantha of the group). But Jessa’s too flaky — and too frightened — to [...]
