TNT Show Lampoons Abortion



TNT Lampoons Abortion in CLAWS

I never thought I would repeat a statement from a liberal Hollyweird actress but here goes.  Ashley Judd stood on stage at the ridiculous Woman’s March and screamed, “I’m an aaaaaangry woman!”  Well, that’s me today.  I’m not just an angry woman; I’m an angry woman who has experienced abortion and one who ministers to those who still struggle from the spiritual and emotional side effects.
  
I received a message from a woman I minister to through Rachel’s Hope Healing Ministry.  She wanted me to check out an episode in the so-called comedy “Claws” (TNT – Season 2, Episode 2, titled Cracker Casserole) that lampooned abortion.  After finding the episode on TNT’s OnDemand, I prepared myself mentally by saying a calming prayer and physically by putting in my mouth guard to avoid teeth damage due to stress grinding, and thank God I did….

The main character’s brother (Dean) and his girlfriend (Virginia) announced she was pregnant.  Here is how “Claws” disgracefully and reprehensibly treated the topic of abortion: 


    Virginia was nonchalant about being pregnant and said there was a really nice abortion clinic down the road – a mischaracterization of someone having an unplanned pregnancy.  How many young women have we seen in a crisis pregnancy shrug it off?  We see them confused, anxious and frightened.  

•    As she, Dean and another friend arrived at the clinic, pro-lifers were portrayed as a raucous mob … yelling and pushing at her as she got out of the car.  Total hogwash.  

    The procedure room was nicely decorated, and her friend was allowed to be in there with her.  What?  For one thing, unless things have changed, I don't believe anyone is allowed in the room except the doctor and nurses.  And as far as the room goes ... based on testimonies by thousands of women, and through my own experience, the rooms are cold, sterile and void of any comforting accouterments.

    She started having doubts and wondered if she was carrying another Obama or Martin Luther King.  Women don’t think about those things while waiting for the abortionist to come in, they aren’t given time to think.  They are rushed through before they can change their mind.   

    While wondering what friends and family members were thinking about her situation, a montage came on screen with them spouting out pro-choice rhetoric.  The most disturbing was a woman remembering that years ago abortions were illegal in Texas and her friend had to go to a deli to get hers.  (They consider that comedy?)

    After the procedure, Dean came back into the room with a candy pacifier to give Virginia and proposed.  No reaction to the pacifier except, “I love these.” (Again, that’s comedy?)  Moreover, what about his proposal … he’ll marry her now that he’s no longer burdened by fatherhood?  What message is that giving young men? 

    As they leave the clinic, Dean announces to the pro-life crowd he and Virginia were getting married.  The crowd cheers, thinking Virginia changed her mind.  A woman said, “Our prayers were answered,” and in response, Virginia sneered and said, “ we still D&C’d that shit, bitch.” (Sorry for the language)


Now, I don’t know how many young people watch this show, hopefully not too many.  Networks and sponsors that allow this type of programming should be ashamed of themselves.  Not only do they mock morals, but they also mock those who stand up for life and desensitize the killing of innocent children. 

Sadly, this so-called comedy series is the tip of the iceberg.  Liberal ideology has steamrolled the television industry as well as other media.  Some call this progress, but in all actuality, it’s regression to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, and we all know how that ended up.

Remember, the  NFL changed its position on kneeling during the National Anthem because we got tired of having our country disrespected and did something about it. Even though they recently backtracked, their bottom line will suffer again this season. 

It’s time to do the same to networks that disrespect life and morality.
