One must understand that its all about ratings and money for them, nothing more. Its just business to them.<br />Perhaps CBS did the pro-lifers a big favor, helping to galvanize us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-2505258215848536872009-12-06T00:49:14.982-05:002009-12-06T00:49:14.982-05:00I did not see it. but the first part brings to min...I did not see it. but the first part brings to mind the words of talk-radio advice guru Dr. Laura Schlesinger. Whenever a pregnant woman calls in who is thinking of an abortion, Dr. Laura asks her to consider putting the baby up for adoption instead. When the young woman invariably says, "Oh, I could never give my baby away!" Schlesinger counters with, "So you can kill your own child, but you can't say goodbye?"<br /><br />I am not sure if the number is six or seven, but that is the sum total of people who have been killed by anti-abortion violence in the United States since the infamous Roe v. Wade decision of 2003. Yet, to listen to the "mainstream" media, you would think that every clinic has mad bombers trying to beat the doors down and that those people holding rosaries or offering to help women with their babies outside are fronts for Al Quaeda.<br /><br />Take a look at how many people died in violence associated with the civil rights movements and other protest movements of the 1960's. Abortion has killed nearly 50 million people.<br /><br />I do not want to discount the deaths of the six or seven who were killed by obviously deranged people who thought they were advancing the pro-life cause, but no one ever bothers to point out that every one of those killings were committed by people who were on the fringe of the pro-life movement and every mainstream pro-life leader condemned those killings. Cardinal O'Connor of New York even said, "If someone out there wants to kill an abortion doctor, kill me instead."<br /><br />Do not expect a credible examination of the abortion problem from the "mainstream" media. The election of 2008 made it all too clear that they only represent the main stream of America's left.Robert Kumpelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567786012498143419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-34236109967495829202009-12-05T17:37:46.212-05:002009-12-05T17:37:46.212-05:00Didn't see it, at least in part because my vie...Didn't see it, at least in part because my viewing of main stream channels is minimal, and that never includes the news outlets which I can no longer stomach for reasons such as this post relates.<br /><br />That having been said, I will offer up prayers for this doctor, that Mother, and the poor child whose life they conspired to end.<br /><br />Abortion will not always be legal in America. The other side is killing themselves off.Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-85043417719987041202009-12-05T11:31:56.122-05:002009-12-05T11:31:56.122-05:00Yes, I did see the piece. I think the presentation...Yes, I did see the piece. I think the presentation of any controversial issue... that you find yourself in the middle of, will make you think again about your position...I believe that re-thinking, or providing motivation to negative second thoughts about what you will do is very unique to the person. Maybe it will and maybe it won’t make a pro-choice person have doubts. <br /><br />I believe that the piece was operating an agenda that enforced the acceptability of homicide. So, it was pro-choice. For example, the piece imaged the law of the land embracing the doctor and the infanticide clinic. Also, the doctor was imaged with his professional sovereignty and veteran status using these as authority to exercise his activities with impunity. Next, the protestors did not have any background done on them to establish their credibility as a reasonable voice. They were shown as irrational for standing out in the cold and they were imaged to suit a fit in the “crazy religious right” religious-political faction. The belief in God was on stage in the questioning of a protestor’s prospective on the doctor’s salvation. All of this cultivated a pro-choice platform. So, yes it was typically biased.<br /><br />I think (and the literature will back this up) that TV is currently the quintessential market tool. It has no other purpose...everything on it is meant to bring you to a product. Interestingly, my experience has shown me that the majority of young persons know this (current participant observation of campus life). It enforces the viewer to play the role of consumer, or producer, or in the 21st century... “prosumer”! So, it will be biased to the sale. What’s for sale here in this piece??? Death hastening. <br /><br />Assisted suicide is legal in at least 29 states! In a study of the treatment of the elderly in 41 countries (out of the CIA’s 220 something recognized sovereignties) were sampled randomly and researchers found some form of death hastening behavior in over half of them! Great Briton (a core nation according to Wallerstein) would be one of them, and has splashed the marketed news (BBC) with their government’s prioritizing of assisted suicide candidates! <br /><br />Yes, it is outrageous, sickening, “dumbfounding,” and scary-Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586480579220554662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-73265774232106808482009-12-05T06:28:35.777-05:002009-12-05T06:28:35.777-05:00I did not see it, but hearing about it makes me si...I did not see it, but hearing about it makes me sick.
