“The Morning Show” starring megastars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon heavily pushed pro-abortion propaganda in a recent episode, including slamming pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) as “sick” and “insane.”<\/p>\n

A popular drama show on Apple TV+, “The Morning Show” focuses on veteran anchor Alex Levy (Aniston), who grapples with the addition of a new anchor, Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon). In the season three premiere<\/a>, Levy and Jackson look to cover the fall of Roe v. Wade<\/em> and report on a woman who travels to Mexico from Texas every month to get abortion pills to distribute. It will likely be a long-running topic this season, given a previous interview from director and producer Mimi Leder with The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The first season brought us the #MeToo movement, and the second season brought us the pandemic,” she said. “This season, the focus was women\u2019s agency, reproductive rights, the state of journalism and the state of the truth.”<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the episode, Jackson wanted to cover a story about abortion activists working to illegally dispense abortion pills but was turned down, as producers said she had a bias. In season one, Jackson had admitted on-air<\/a> to having had an abortion at 15, which to producers meant she couldn’t be seen as neutral on the issue. Jackson later vented to Levy about it, framing the abortion activist as a hero.<\/p>\n

“There’s this woman in Texas,” she said. “And she crosses over the border every single month into Mexico to get abortion pills for women who cannot drive hours to the nearest clinic. She’s doing work that really matters.” Jackson begged for Levy to take the story instead, and called the abortion activist a hero who saves lives.<\/p>\n

“I really admire you. I admire what you do,” she told the activist. “And when I was pregnant as a teenager, I knew that I could never tell my mother. And there was a woman like you, and she saved my life. I just wanted other women to know that there are people like you out there and that they don’t have to feel alone.”<\/p>\n

Induced abortion violently, intentionally, and directly kills preborn children and is not medically necessary<\/a>. It takes lives<\/em> rather than saving them. But it’s likely that the phrase “saved my life” in most cases actually means ‘preserved my way<\/em> of life<\/em> by ending my child’s life.’<\/p>\n

While on a plane to Texas, Levy and the crew discuss abortion and PRCs in Texas, with Levy suggesting there are “fake abortion clinics” in Texas that routinely lie to women. She is talking about PRCs, which don’t typically claim to commit abortion when they don’t.<\/p>\n
