"Law and Order" paints pro-lifers as violent murderers

In Thursday night’s Law & Order episode titled “Battle Lines,” numerous anti-life talking points were emphasized. The episode used a murder case of the daughter of a fictional Texas governor to push the abortion narrative, as well as the murder of an abortion activist to paint pro-lifers as the threats in the abortion debate.

One scene displayed a conversation between the characters Executive Assistant District Attorney Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston). The pair discussed the incident with Becca Carter, daughter of TX Gov. Carter who was murdered by her brother, Blake Carter. The detectives also discuss the mother, Barbara Carter’s role in the situation. …

In the episode, Becca visited New York for an abortion. Following her appointment, Becca’s brother murdered her. This doesn’t happen. Generally the pro-life movement aims to protect life, not end it hence “pro-life.” It doesn’t make any sense for the pro-life brother character to deliberately end the life of his own sister over an abortion – or anything for that matter.

In another scene, viewers were presented with the murder of an abortion activist by a pro-life protestor. Yeah, because that happens all the time.
