Law & Order Episode "Dignity" Outrages Pro-Abortion Groups"What makes the Law & Order episode so riveting is that virtually every pro-life argument you knew you would never hear on a network program is a part of 'Dignity.'" EDITOR?S NOTE: I?ve never watched the NBC show Law and Order before, however, I was very intrigued by this LSN story about a recent episode, and how they depicted the pro-life cause in a much more favorable light than is ever seen on network TV. I watched a clip of the show from the NBC website, and was pleasantly surprised. Apparently those who campaign for abortion are upset over the episode and are probably letting NBC know it. I thought perhaps those of us who champion life could write a letter of our own to NBC, in appreciation for airing something that shows pro-lifers in a realistic light, instead of the usual portrayal that we are all..."less-than-intelligent," to put it gently. If the network receives more affirmation for the good things they air, they may be inclined to air more shows of that nature. ?Just a thought.

(Washington, DC)?Last Friday's episode of Law & Order on NBC, entitled "Dignity," has infuriated pro-abortionists while pleasantly surprising pro-lifers with an unexpectedly even-handed treatment of the issue of abortion. Ripping its plot from recent headlines, "Dignity" begins with the murder of late-term abortionist Dr. Walter Benning (Matthew Boston) during a church service. Although the episode has a disclaimer stating that the story is fictional, its initial outline closely matches the case of the late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller, who was shot and killed in a church in Wichita, Kansas, on May 31st. After the murderer, Wayne Grogan is captured and confesses to the crime, his defense attorney, Roger Jenkins, argues that the killing was justified because Grogan was acting in defense of someone else?namely, an unborn infant whom Benning was going to abort. As Dave Andrusko writes on the NRLC's website: "What makes the Law & Order episode so riveting is that virtually every pro-life argument you knew you would never hear on a network program is a part of 'Dignity.'" "More important, it occurred to me as I listened in utter astonishment that each of these observations could have been presented in a way that was artificial, forced, or (as so often is the case with network portraits of pro-lifers) something that you would expect from an idiot. None of that was the case. These were real flesh-and-blood people, not caricatures." Early in the episode, for instance, Detectives Lupo and Bernard argue with each other over abortion. Lupo says that forcing an 11-year old rape victim to give birth is unthinkable, to which Bernard responds: "You got it backwards, man! The horrible thing is the rape! Not the bringing of a life into the world." He continues by pointing out that he himself was born to an unwed mother, and that Lupo very nearly had another partner. When witnesses begin to take the stand, however, the contrast between the pro-abortion and pro-life position only grows. One abortionist, called as witness for the prosecution, says that the life of the disabled child Benning was going to abort would be without dignity. He continues to say that even if politicians make abortion illegal and "bow to the hypocrites and fools" of the pro-life movement, he would continue to perform abortions despite the law. Perhaps the most surprising issue the episode raised is the connection of abortion with infanticide. Over the course of the case, the defense, desiring to show that Benning was a murderer, calls a witness to testify how a breathing, born-alive infant was killed by Dr. Benning. "The boy was crying a little cry, moving his arms and legs," she says. "Dr. Benning cut the umbilical cord; then he took the surgical scissors and inserted it into the base of the baby's skull."

In one case that drives close to home, an abortionist working for George Tiller, Shelley Sella, was accused of stabbing a born-alive infant in the ribcage until the baby died. In addition, former nurse turned pro-life activist Jill Stanek has also related that while working at a hospital in Illinois, numerous babies born alive after failed abortions were simply left to die in the "soiled utility room." Pro-abortion groups have responded to the Law & Order episode with outrage that the show would feature an abortionist modeled on Dr. Tiller in a less than beatific light. Charlotte Taft writes that "NBC cannot hide behind the words" by stating that the story is fictitious. For the media to make a negative story so blatantly ripped off the death of "St. George," as she dubs Tiller, is to murder him again. "There is no balance here," she says. "Dignity" may be watched on iTunes.
