You don’t see it often. Hollywood is as much of a pro-choice (pro-abortion) place as you’ll find anywhere. Yet few movies or television shows positively portray women who choose abortion. Is it because Hollywood doesn’t want to offend a large class of socially conservative Americans? Not likely. Hollywood isn’t afraid of offending folks on the issue of homosexuality, for example. Why is the abortion issue different for Hollywood?Al Mohler has an interesting post on this question. Read it here.

hmmmmmmm We watch other horrible things in movies.......abuse, murder, sexual deviance etc. yet you are right hardly ever where a person has an abortion. I guess because those things are against the law we can't watch saying to ourself we'd never do that. The death of an unborn baby isn't against the law ......and yet our minds and emotions let us know it is, no matter what the law says.
Never really thought about this before. I pray that Hollywood never makes "it" a normal procedure because "it" never will be!

meant to say "we CAN watch" in previous comment.
My typing isn't too good this morning.
interesting that people don't even want to talk about abortion here on the blog. Of course most of us here probably agree with you that abortion is a terrible thing we just don't talk about it, though we should, as a witness. Ask the readers about their oppinion of the whole "Paris" thing though and I bet you'd get responses. Giving oppinions on really important issues can be costly and even I am writing using "anonymous".
sad huh?
