The actresses and producers of NBC’s hit drama "This Is Us" are hoping that a new abortion storyline will “educate” viewers by featuring a “choice” of “empowerment and courage.” But if they really want to inform their audience, they should show abortion for what it is: the intentional destruction of an innocent human life – the stopping of a beating heart.
In the past, "This Is Us" has incorporated pro-life family-friendly plotlines. But in a more recent episode that aired earlier this month, the show embraced abortion. The fifth episode of this latest season follows Kate Pearson (Chrissy Metz) as she reveals to her husband that she secretly had an abortion at 18. That’s because, she says, she was “nowhere near ready to be a mom” and she couldn’t be “tied to” an abusive ex-boyfriend.
