Last month, I noted that in the post-Roe era Hollywood has begun to ramp up its glamorization of abortion. Previously, the staunchly progressive entertainment industry had shied away from pushing abortion — not for reasons of conscience, of course, but because most people simply don’t want to see abortion on the screen. Unwanted or unexpected pregnancies almost always resulted in a baby being born, even on sitcoms like Friends that celebrated every other cultural evil.
As the abortion industry gears up for the greatest propaganda battle in decades, however, Hollywood has once again been pressed into service. With abortion referendums unfolding across the United States, an all-hands-on-deck approach to capturing the hearts and minds of the American people is necessary, and storytelling is one of the most potent ways of shaping the minds of the public. In recent films, most notably Rachel Lee Goldberg’s Unpregnant, abortion is presented not as a necessary evil but as the happy ending driving the storyline.
A recent column from the Hollywood Reporter published on August 30 details the strategy. Titled “Abortion Storylines on TV Impact Viewers ‘Across All Political Leanings,’ Study Finds,” it explains how abortion propaganda on the big and small screen is an essential part of the abortion industry’s plan going forward:
“Medically accurate storylines about abortion can help educate and inform viewers ‘across all political leanings,’ according to a new study from USC Annenberg’s Norman Lear Center and UC San Francisco’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health program.”
In a paper “Abortion Depictions on Television: Impact on Audience Knowledge and Mobilization,” researchers surveyed 1,016 adult television viewers of three television episodes with depictions of the procedure that were deemed to be medically sound. The viewers of these storylines were tested for their knowledge of abortion and their interest in taking action after watching the 2022 A Million Little Things episode “Fresh Start,” the 2022 Better Things episode “No, I’m Not Gonna Tell Her” or the 2022 Station 19 episode “The Little Things You Do Together.”
Viewers who were casual, even occasional watchers of the series and did not recall the specific abortion episodes in question were surveyed alongside those who did remember the content of the specific storylines. Researchers gathered participants’ demographic information, including their political leanings. The survey took place in May 2022 before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June of that year, ending the constitutional right to abortion….
In particular, the report noted that conservative-aligned voters could be swayed by representations of abortion onscreen. This is due in part to the fact that people let their guard down while engaging with entertainment, meaning that they can be more easily influenced and can absorb the values and perspectives being subtly (or even not so subtly) pushed in the storylines.

Hopefully they will lose big money on this evil garbage.
And yet they continue to preach at us invoking a hell that they don’t believe or have a concept of , praying that ai takes over soon , if nothing else it will eliminate some of the arrogance and the entitlement of these people .
Hollywood has committed a lot of sins to atone for. I basically stopped seeing Hollywood films after the way they treated Mel Gibson’s The Passion of The Christ. It was the best and most amazing realistic religious film ever made. I even went to see it in theaters 3 times. The film was even masterfully made in Aramaic, the language spoken at the time of Jesus. That was an amazing feat. I don’t even watch awards shows any more. Let’s hope and pray that The Passion of The Christ 2 is another excellent movie and better received by Hollywood than the first film.
Abortion is a blood sacrifice to Satan. Spilling of innocent blood is a sin that cries to Heaven for vengeance. It doesn’t get any more innocent than an unborn baby, murdered with the consent of the one God chose to protect. God will not bless a nation that murders its own children. The Fatima chastisement will punish us all.
Ron: Abortion is a grave sin. Mother Teresa said, “And if we accept that the mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another.”? She also said, “This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.”
