Elizabeth, you’re right that Everwood had some pro-life grace notes. As an entertainment product, that makes for a better show — dramatic tension, a show of serious intellectual and emotional turmoil. It also wins points for not excluding pro-life notes, some civility and tolerance.TV producers can tolerate kitchen-table debates, but it cannot contemplate making the killing of an unborn child illegal. That, in a nutshell, is the “pro-life” viewpoint. The doctor, in the end, is like a liberal Catholic politician — I couldn’t do it, but you go ahead if you want. The WB couldn’t have a character who wanted abortion to be illegal — unless it was those amorphous small-town folk with the supposed terrorist instincts.
