Later…A man who killed a 13-week unborn child faces murder charges. Unborn life is only worth protecting if the woman carrying him wants him. Otherwise…
The wanted unborn baby is protected under law. The unwanted baby is not.
Does that sound right to you?

We know a lot more about the development of babies in the womb since Roe v. Wade. A re-examination of the law is overdue (pardon the pun).

If you live long enough, you’ll eventually see everything.
I used to watch “Law & Order.” Fed up over what I considered leftist preaching and no longer willing to suspend disbelief over the statistically weak saga of the Great White Defendant, I stopped.
Anyway, in the usual “ripped from the headlines” fashion, a recent episode was loosely based on the murder of infant killer George Tiller. An abortionist performing a partial birth abortion failed in his attempt, delivering a viable baby. He asked the mother if she wanted him to finish the job he botched, and she said yes. The abortionist kills the baby, which at that point is murder as defined by law. A “pro-life” man murders the child killer. One detective investigating the case is pro-life, and the other is pro-abortion. Interesting exchange between the two at the beginning of the episode.
Jill Stanek, pro-life blogger and former labor and delivery nurse, posted the episode on her blog. I watched it. Still not a fan of the show, but I’m pleased the writers, likely pro-abortion, crafted such a script. Kudos to the network for airing the episode. There are a couple of pro-life swipes here and there, but overall, it’s watchable. The show is, for lack of a better word, groundbreaking.
Ironically, groundbreaking was used to describe pro-abortion shows in the 1960s. How times have changed. If you have 43 minutes to spare, check it out.
