It is no secret that the entertainment industry has embraced the era of \u201cshout your abortion.\u201d In fact, in early October 2021, \u2018Friends\u2019 star Jennifer Aniston repeated the abortion industry mantra, \u201cno uterus, no opinion\u201d during an interview. Pop singer Billie Eilish echoed these sentiments<\/a> during a performance in Austin, Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite this near-constant pro-abortion sentiment emanating from the industry, the Media Research Council recently identified three television shows that accidentally shared a pro-life message in their programming. No doubt, the networks will deny that the screenwriting diverted from the Hollywood line, but there is little they can do to deny that the stories presented here are definitively pro-life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First up is the NBC drama “Ordinary Joe,” which follows Joe Kimbreau (James Wolk) as he navigates three different timelines of his life. In the episode \u201cShooting Star,\u201d he is meeting with his son Christopher who discovers that his birth was \u201cunplanned.\u201d He asks Joe if his birth \u201cruined his life\u201d as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe replies<\/a>, \u201cSometimes, the most beautiful dreams are the ones that we have yet to dream. And being your dad is more beautiful than any dream I could’ve ever imagined.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Dads are almost exclusively overlooked in the abortion debate, but as this episode demonstrates<\/a>, fathers have an important role to play in the lives of their children and shaping who they become.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The CBS sitcom “The Neighborhood” took a break from the laughs when in the episode, “Welcome to the Porch Pirate,” it is revealed<\/a> that character Gemma (Beth Behrs) lost the preborn child she had been carrying throughout the season. She speaks with her husband Dave (Max Greenfield) about the loss and makes it clear that this preborn baby was a person.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just don’t want to feel this. It makes it real. My baby’s gone. Ugh. I just want to be numb,\u201d she says. Not once does the show delve into the euphemism of, \u201cit was just a fetus\u201d or a \u201cclump of cells.\u201d It stays on track by describing the preborn life as it should be: a child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
