Feminists want a little more reality. But only a little.
You might know the MTV show “16 and Pregnant,” which to its credit does show that getting pregnant isn’t all that great as an unmarried teen. But the show is being criticized by some self declared feminists who believe the show isn’t keeping it real enough.
Guess what they want? Come on. One guess. Ding Ding. More abortions!!!
Jessica Valenti, the creator of the Feministing blog, asked “Where are the pregnant teens who choose not to stay pregnant? Where are the abortions?”
She points out that nearly a third of teen pregnancies end in abortion yet the show has gone a full season with two adoptions but no abortions.
But if that’s going to happen, which I’m sure it will eventually (It is Mtv after all!) I think it will backfire terribly on the pro-choicers if the reality of abortion is actually shown.
If there’s going to be “reality show abortions” let’s show that what pro-choicers call a “blob of tissue” is in reality a small human being. Let’s hear them try to call the baby “a fetus” after America sees exactly what is being aborted.
And after the abortion let’s show how sick the girl is. And let’s keep the camera following the girl around for weeks as she confronts the guilt that she’s killed her child. But the pro-choicers don’t want that much reality.
They know that theirs is an ideology best practiced in the dark where they can still get away with their “blob of tissue” descriptions of babies and their slippery use of the word “choice” to describe a human life.
So they might say they want reality but we know that the moment people really see what’s going on inside abortion clinics, they will recoil. Let’s show what the abortionists hide from even the mothers at the clinic. Let’s see what happens to the fetus after the abortion. Once America really sees the reality of that, it’ll turn on them.
Pro-choicers have shown time and again they don’t want reality to intrude on their pro-choice utopia. The abortion community has fought against crisis pregnancy centers mainly because these centers have ultrasounds which show women their babies and give women an opportunity to listen to their baby’s heartbeat. So now the abortion community is attempting to saddle crisis pregnancy centers with legislation to hinder their work.
They’ve even fought vehemently against legislation that asks that women be given the option of an ultrasound before an abortion. The abortion community is for choice, just not informed choice.
But we’re already winning. Even the Mtv watching youth are understanding what abortion really is. A recent online MTV poll asked viewers of the show “16 and Pregnant” if they believed in abortion and 59% said they didn’t while only 34% answered in the affirmative.
Pro-choicers know they’re losing so they want to see the continued “glamorization” of abortion because they’re scared to death of America seeing the reality.

This is the exact reason I believe that the Duggars had a premmie; to show the world what a child so small looks like alive, not in parts, but perfect in every way. This is God’s way of keeping it positive and God bless the Duggars. TV can’t put the sight and reality of little Josie back in the box once we have all laid eyes on what would normally be taking place in the safe waters of her mother’s womb.
Look at those poll numbers. Nearly one in three teen pregnancies ends in abortion. 34% of those polled believe abortion is ok. Not sure if that is ironic or reflective. Either way, it is sad.
If they do show a girl choosing and having an abortion, they’ll make darned sure it’s portrayed in a “positive” light. There won’t be any tears or guilt or sickness or side-effects. They’ll be sure to highlight the “freedom” of this “choice”, and if anything, they’ll probably follow-up with the girl 4 weeks later to show how great she’s doing, and how her life is back on track and how glad she is to have chosen abortion. Just wait…
Pro-aborts cannot tell the truth about abortion, and if this show ever goes there, they won’t either.
If there is such a shift towards pro-life, why aren’t the networks picking up on this? Why are they letting themselves be used by an unpopular trend? I can only guess that their godlessness makes them sacrifice profit to promote sin.
Dear American friends, let us propagate the awareness to the young that a family with loving husband, wife and their children is the happiest thing on earth and not all the momentary pleasures and all the trauma that follows the wrong sudden jumps into the undesireable area. A little waitnig will give ample joy later The parents must be models and should give counsel to the loving children
You are correct which means they won’t show it to that extent. The editors will make it look like a wwonderful “choice”. You see operations and medical procedures of all forms on television yet they won’t show an abortion because they know that then the reality of the murder of a human life would hit home and wake a sleeping giant.
Reality- ABORTION IS RACIST. Proof: Maafa21- http://www.maafa21.com let’s show it to everyone !
I gave up MTV 20 years ago in the mid 80’s, once “hippity hop”/“rap” music started getting popular.
MTV has heavily censored programs in the past, to the point of only to show certain videos after 11 pm. Of course, in those days it wasn’t so bad.
I think what scares the pro-choice crowd the most would be having to adamit there is actually a life inside the uterus. To accept the truth would mean abandonment of all of their principles and leave no room for denial.
It will take much love, patience and prayer to soften their hearts to accept the truth through God’s grace.
This is rediculous. You are posting a pro life blog based on what God wants on a Catholic website. Which is why all the commentary agrees with what you are saying. For your information: you will not ever change the minds of those people who belive in pro choice, refrencing up to date facts and articles make your argument stronger (don’t quote the bible it is out of date and, like wekipedia is changed by anyone who sees fit), and lastly yes, the proper name before a baby is born is a fetus. Science is doing crazy things and making advances while you are stuck in the stone age reading and listening to brain washing seminars every sunday in order to make life and death less sacry. Wake up it’s only a control system. Don’t immediatly take down this post: everyone has an opinion and should be able to share. I read your opinions every has the right to read mine.
