A recent episode of &#8220;Law and Order,&#8221; entitled &#8220;Dignity&#8221; demonstrates that. The episode is clearly based on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/story\/0,2933,523581,00.html\">the murder of abortionist Dr. George Tiller while he worshiped in his church<\/a>. In the episode the show&#8217;s writers give the killer a particular baby to save and base the defense on that. Here&#8217;s a scene from the episode:<object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http:\/\/widgets.nbc.com\/o\/4727a250e66f9723\/4af99e689072f09d\/4741e3c5156499a7\/a53e84e8\/-cpid\/6006cbb69928f5d9\" id=\"W4727a250e66f97234af99e689072f09d\" width=\"384\" height=\"283\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/widgets.nbc.com\/o\/4727a250e66f9723\/4af99e689072f09d\/4741e3c5156499a7\/a53e84e8\/-cpid\/6006cbb69928f5d9\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><param name=\"allowNetworking\" value=\"all\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object>Both positions are presented fairly and as you can see from the clip, the &#8220;pro-choice&#8221; prosecutor was swayed by the testimony of a mom who decided not to abort her baby, allowing him to die with dignity and love. The nurse testifying about the infanticide she witnessed left the abortionist&#8217;s practice to work in a neonatal unit.  Which sounds similar to the story of the Planned Parenthood Director:<embed type='application\/x-shockwave-flash' src='http:\/\/foxnews1.a.mms.mavenapps.net\/mms\/rt\/1\/site\/foxnews1-foxnews-pub01-live\/current\/videolandingpage\/fncLargePlayer\/client\/embedded\/embedded.swf' id='mediumFlashEmbedded' pluginspage='http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer' bgcolor='#000000' allowScriptAccess='always' allowFullScreen='true' quality='high' name='undefined' play='false' scale='noscale' menu='false' salign='LT' scriptAccess='always' wmode='false' height='275' width='305' flashvars='playerId=videolandingpage&#038;playerTemplateId=fncLargePlayer&#038;categoryTitle=Politics&#038;referralObject=11465328&#038;referralParentPlaylistId=14dd8d0f134b75c8565df1685e721eff8f003aac&#038;referralPlaylistId=c985e69916535a2170b2b18ab0ab7eb60401f9bb' \/>I always knew my position wasn&#8217;t extreme and with the culture starting to acknowledge that as well, maybe those who support abortion until birth will begin to understand they are the true extremists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the majority of the House of Representatives is pro-life you know your position cannot be on the fringe.
