Last week’s episode of the NBC television show “Parenthood,” in which a teenage girl has a fast abortion at a Planned Parenthood, garnered much attention from both side of the pro-life spectrum. However, in all the debate, a recurring comment seemed to arise from pro-lifers who liked Parenthood. A resounding consensus seemed to defend Drew, …
