FX Networks "30 Days" - filming

Southern California

The cable channel FX has developed a show called ”30 Days” in which a person is taken out of their comfort zone for 30 days and the entire ordeal is filmed. What could be more uncomfortable for a pro-choice woman than 30 days in a home for women in crisis pregnancies?

This April, FX is filming an episode featuring just such a scenario! A pro-choice woman in her late 20s will be living for 30 days at a pro-life home in Long Beach, and will be required to participate in pro-life activities during that time. What sort of pro-life activities?

The pro-choice woman will attend a Survivors Leadership Training in Orange County, a Show the Truth event in Venice Beach (complete with graphic signs and possibly a Million to One Memorial), and several campus visits. Yes, FX will be filming the Survivors in action!

You are invited to attend all of the events at which FX will be filming! Please check back for times/locations as soon as details are confirmed with the FX producers.

Considering the heavy liberal bent of the creator of this show, I'm not optimistic about how the pro-lifers will be portrayed.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

This show is created by the leftie who produced "Supersize Me." Previous conservative participants have complained that the creator "scripts" the show to drive home his liberal viewpoint.

Yeah, I'm not giving that Spurlock , Michael Moore wannabe, propogandist any viewing time.

I suspect the show got such dismal ratings last year that they are trying something with a more conservative slant. Still, I'm not watching.

[jocon307]

I doubt they'll find a pro-lifer to do the reverse.

[Joe Republc]

Mr. 'SuperSize' me will have his liberal slant, but still part of me hopes that any exposure to the horrible truths of abortion could help the cause. Also, exposure to crisis pregrancy centers could do damage to some myths that pro-lifers don't care about the mothers or the babies that are born.

We can hope and pray.

BTW, I found 'SuperSize Me' to be very entertaining, and a wake-up call to the obesity problem in this country. Although he tried to cast McDonald's in a negative light, I think most discerning viewers could see that American's eating habits are bigger (no pun intended) than the menu and business practices at McDonald's.

He's a card-carrying member of the ACLU.

30 days watching abortions being performed? Or assisting ... sticking the scissors in the baby's skull?

I'm sure it will be reminiscent of the "Love episode" of Michael Moore's "TV Nation," where he brought a bunch of pro-choicers to trespass at the home of an Operation Rescue leader and filmed the guy destroying the flowers they had planted in his lawn without permission.

I haven't seen it, but I agree about the eating habits. It always seemed absurd to me that he was going to indict McDonalds because his health suffered after eating their food at every meal. That's like dosing yourself with Metamucil three times a day and complaining that you're too regular.

I thought this show tanked already. One of the first in the series was about how awful it was to be a Muslim in America. Boohoohoo. Later he tried to sex it up with a show featuring a mother who stayed drunk for 30 days to show her daughter the dangers of alcohol. It was just a coincidence that the mother was a major MILF.

Awesome!

Surprise, surprise...Liberals doing what they always do. Which is the reason, even back in my college days, pro-lifers were warned about the media.

Thanks for the ping!

This show is notorious for only portraying the extreme stereotypes of the 30 day 'subjects' but it is not surprising.. the host/creator is a Michael Moore protege.

[mnehring]

He's a card-carrying member of the ACLU.

Very true, he flashes his card every chance he can.. I remember the episode where he lived on minimum wage and made it a point to show everyone there was nothing in his wallet but his ACLU membership card..
