New Stanek WND column, “Is Hollywood tipping pro-life?”
When I read NBC’s Law & Order was airing an episode last week “ripped from the headlines” of an abortionist shot in church, i.e., Dr. George Tiller, I, of course, anticipated the plot would not go well for pro-lifers. The most I expected was milliseconds of fairness with pro-abortion clichés ruling the hour.
My, was I surprised. I could have written that script. The episode wasn’t even balanced. It was outright pro-life, not that I mind.
If you haven’t seen the episode, you should. Sans commercials it is only 42 minutes long….
Pro-abort reaction was swift and harsh. Sarah Seltzer at the Ted–Turner-funded blog RH Reality Check called the episode an “abortion disaster” and “wasteland of TV.”
Kate Harding at Salon accused NBC of spreading “anti-choice propaganda” and “smear[ing] the memory of… Dr. Tiller.”
Ms. Magazine was “appalled by this second assassination” of Dr. Tiller, calling the show “shocking” and “insensitive.”…

I did not know that abortion played a part in the movie “Dirty Dancing”. All I knew about the movie was that it involved some type of forbidden relationship and dancing, which was enough to keep me from ever watching it in the first place, but I’ve found most women around my age eat that garbage up like candy. No wonder some women are so blind, what with their worldview being influenced by crap like this.
This is why I stick with horror flicks. Ya can’t go wrong with zombies.
It’s true that you never see an abortion on TV. Even a recent episode of Desperate Housewives had a pro-life moment, when a woman who has grown children found out she was pregnant and was thinking of ending the pregnancy. Her friend, whose daughter had suffered an attack from an unknown assailant, told her that her child was the most precious gift she has. And her friend decided to keep the baby.
