Feminists who embrace the "right" to abortion -- the right to destroy an unborn life on a woman's demand at any point in pregnancy -- just will not accept they are powerful enough in Hollywood. Abortion scenes in TV and movies need to be more "educational" and end the "stigma" of violence against unborn babies, such as being torn to pieces and feeling the pain of being chemically burned to pieces. Both things have been proved true after the 20-week period, yet it remains a "stigma" against their mothers.
This lecture came again during a recent panel discussion at the ATX Festival in Austin, Texas, titled "Her Body, Her Choice." Rina Mimoun, who scripted an abortion plot for the drama "Everwood" back in 2003, is still upset the main doctor character on the show wasn't an abortionist, as they wanted. She's upset that abortion is relegated to a Very Special Episode.
"The goal for all of it -- network, streaming, everything -- is to stop making it the one-off episode or the arc," Mimoun said. "It would be nice if it was just part of the conversation and didn't have to be so special and so earnest and so important."
Earth to Mimoun: Tearing an unborn baby apart limb by limb is important. People earnestly oppose it as monstrous. You may want to treat it as similar to a tooth extraction, but it's not.
Her feminist ideal came on the CW show "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend." A woman has an abortion, and the pizza delivery driver rings her doorbell. In response, her son says, "Mom, I'll get it, since you just had an abortion."
Here's the problem: If abortion should completely lack drama, why would you need to put it in a drama?
"Everyone is so afraid to be earnest or afraid to be like preachy or teach-y. ... they'd rather be salacious," Mimoun said. "They're trying to shock you into watching their shows and there aren't as many people that are (embracing) the challenge of educating. It's an opportunity that we have." To anyone milking the subject for ratings, "shame on you," she said.
So, one minute this woman's upset that abortion episodes are too earnest, and then suddenly, she's complaining everyone's afraid to be earnest? The only check on Hollywood's "opportunities" to educate/indoctrinate is viewers' clicking to another channel.
Mimoun's not really against "salacious" episodes, since she liked the shocking abortion-at-Christmas plot on ABC's "Scandal," when the main character, Olivia Pope, had an abortion to the soundtrack of a gospel choir singing "Silent Night." Then, Pope celebrated at the episode's end with a glass of wine and Stevie Wonder singing "Ave Maria."
According to the Austin Chronicle, Mimoun added a complaint about male showrunners in Hollywood telling her they don't want an abortion plot because it's a "women's issue." Another panelist, Hulu series "East Los High" writer Mauricio Mota, replied, "That drives me insane," since men are half of the equation. "Is it God who put the baby in the belly?"
In Hollywood, that's not a serious theological question. That's a laugh line. But they don't really want a male opinion on abortion -- if it's not fully supportive.
Mota accused Hollywood of being uptight and sexist. Why aren't there enough abortions on TV? "It's about controlling women," Mota asserted. "Abortion is just one of the facets of society's search to control women."
In reality, every Hollywood writer thinking about an abortion scene is going to be controlled enough to consult with Planned Parenthood to make it "right." These lecturers are all about what the campaign consultants call "message discipline." They want pro-abortion talking points and never, ever a debate.
When was the last time you watched a mother on TV, pressured to have an abortion, choose to keep her unborn child because it is the morally right thing to do?
The mom could have then had a Groucho Marx style comeback to the kid, like "yeah, starting with you!"
Who doesn't love abortion humor? /s
I’ve been reading “Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism” by F. Carolyn Graglia which I recommend.
Feminism is just bad. It’s not about giving more opportunities for women. It’s about fewer opportunities for women.
By the mid-20th century, women could be doctors, lawyers, politicians, business owners — whatever they wanted. Plenty of women went to college. And some women became wives and mothers.
Feminism is about putting a stop to that. Being a housewife was declared an inappropriate goal and Feminists worked to make sure that this was discouraged as much as possible. Motherhood was not valued. Abortion and contraceptives were great. Promiscuous sex was great. But that whole “wife and mother” option was pretty much taken off the table. If you absolutely must have children, by all means put them in daycare and go back to work. That way you won’t be a parasite.
Many of the early feminists were lesbians, barren or had no maternal instinct at all — and they hated women who could find happiness as mothers.
Hollywood is the pipeline that carries liberal sewage to the masses.
Abortion advocates need for everyone to embrace the murder of innocent babies.
They are like LGBT advocates.
Their evil can never be entrenched enough.
A school shooter kills 17; and CHOICE kills 3,300 the same day.
Guess where the OUTRAGE!!! will land...
It's true. Abortion is about controlling a woman for someone else's benefit. Women who have babies are disruptive to a society oriented to purely individualistic pleasure and ambition. Mothers usually lose some measurable economic productivity. Casual, hedonistic contacts become lifetime relationships, whether you like it or not. What a mess!
Wouldn't it be so much better if women, just like men, never had babies, could walk away from minutes-ago "intimate partners" without a backward glance, could always keep their focus on public "success," etc.?
