No abortions are allowed to be shown on TV. Period.

It doesn't matter that all other procedures are. Period.

Ask Matt Drudge. He was fired by FOX News, of all people, for wanting to show not an abortion, but an in womb operation to save a fetus' life.

He wanted to show a picture of the fetus' hand reaching out and grasping the finger of the doctor performing the operation. (Can someone please post that beautiful picture?)

No dice. He was fired. Period. No appeals. Very little discussion except a couple of threads on FR at the time.

So that is the rule: No Fetuses on TV. Period.

(Unless it's a medical documentary about fetal development created by Liberals, of course, in which case, it's not a fetus, but a baby.)

To Matt Drudge: I've always admired you for your courage, at least.

IN ORDER TO CHANGE AND REBUILD AN ENTIRE CULTURE, WE MUST FOCUS ON THE CHILDREN AND TEACH THEM.

How many students have heard of Samuel Armas? Telling his story would be another example of how to impress students with the truth that the unborn are just as human as we are. Samuel was operated on at 21-weeks gestation in utero for a spinal cord defect. Pictures of his hand grasping the surgeons are among the most powerful and unforgettable in recent years. He was born on Thursday, Dec. 2, 1999 weighing 5 lbs 11 oz. Samuel's mom, Julie later wrote, “He was born at 36 weeks but came into the world screaming his head off! He did not have to spend any time in a neonatal unit and came home with us on Monday, Dec. 6.”

The Armas story and his pictures should be part of this program in every grade from at least sixth and repeated annually through to twelfth. Students will have a personal story of “Life Before Birth” that simply cannot be denied or forgotten.

THE MISSING KEY OF THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT

BTW--That picture (8 x 11) and the accompanying story is in a matted and gold framed display hanging in the back of my parents Parish Church.

The Pastor was given a poor quality photocopy from a newspaper clipping and asked my dad what he thought about putting it on the bulletin board. My dad asked if I could do better.

I received permission to use the image for educational purposes from the copyright holder, http://www.michaelclancy.com/index.html he's happy to oblige all pro-lifers.

He sent me a hi-rez computer copy which I printed out & then printed the story on heavy stock parchment.

I brought these to a friend who owns a small gallery.
She's a wonderful Pro-Life Christian Lady who fell in love with the story and idea for Church. The best double Mat and beautiful gold frame--at no charge. LOL Her husband said my bill is to "go make another copy for me so I can frame another one for another Church!" That was great.

It's been up for about 3 years, even w a new Pastor.

If they can show this in Britian where the press is practically a socialist advertisment, and in Australia where they have deprived people of their self defense rights, you would think there would be a way to get it on the TV here.

Do they have more lax standards as far as violence goes? I mean, are they more likely to show a brutal act on the news than we are?
