Sick: ABC FAMILY Show Shows Lesbian Couple Getting Late-Term Abortion

This week, Americans were treated to a particularly nauseating piece of politically-charged television when a supposedly family-friendly show offered an episode with a plotline that centered on a lesbian couple having a late-term abortion.
 
It makes one miss the days of Ozzie and Harriet. 
The plot occurred on the ABC Family show, “The Fosters.” In this episode, entitled “Mother,” a character named Lena is 20-weeks pregnant and is married to her lesbian partner, Stef. The show takes a dark turn when Lena goes to the hospital with pre-eclampsia and the doctor informs the couple that Lena could die if she gives birth.

The couple is offered the choice of whether to induce birth and the baby will die or to have a late-term abortion and they choose the latter option.
 
Now- this will not be a discussion surrounding the pros and cons of abortion to save the life of a mother. That is a complex issue reserved for another day, another time. 

What my disgust revolves around, however, is the blatant attempt to normalize abortions. There is a time and place to discuss pro-life or pro-abortion stances; family get-together time is not one of them.
 
The plot is an obvious attempt to advance a leftists agenda and normalize and inoculate viewers so as to normalize abortions. 

Let’s remember- this is a show focused towards teenagers and families. Why must the decidedly pro-abortion message be displayed so prominently on an ABC Family sitcom? 
I’m not a prude; I understand that there exists some obscene issues to discuss and abortion, I’m sorry to say, is a reality in this world. I’m happy to have a debate on this subject, but what of the children watching television that are now exposed to this subject matter? What are they to make of it? That infanticide is normal and no big deal? 

God help us.
