Jill Stanek: Is Hollywood tipping pro-life?
From Jill Stanek:When I read NBC's Law & Order was airing an episode last week "ripped from the headlines" of an abortionist shot in church, i.e., Dr. George Tiller, I, of course, anticipated the plot would not go well for pro-lifers. The most I expected was milliseconds of fairness with pro-abortion clichés ruling the hour.I've never watched Law & Order. Did anyone catch this show?

If you haven't seen the episode, you should. Sans commercials it is only 42 minutes long....
Pro-abort reaction was swift and harsh. Sarah Seltzer at the Ted-Turner-funded blog RH Reality Check called the episode an "abortion disaster" and "wasteland of TV."
Kate Harding at Salon accused NBC of spreading "anti-choice propaganda" and "smear[ing] the memory of... Dr. Tiller."
Ms. Magazine was "appalled by this second assassination" of Dr. Tiller, calling the show "shocking" and "insensitive."...
Jennifer Boulangerat Women and Hollywood called the show "deeply stigmatizing" and "rife with medical inaccuracies."
