Where do I go to get my 43 minutes back? Is there a WayBack time machine that I can use? Friends and neighbors, that's how much time I spent watching this public service announcement for Planned Parenthood? Moreover, the state of Ohio is made the villain in the person of a high-powered attorney (Christian Clemenson, who used to be in CSI: MIAMI). Fundamental Christians are stereotyped as knuckle-dragging Bible bangers, while Dick Wolf's liberal orthodoxy runs rampant. Evangeline's baby could have been born and then adopted by a loving couple, but that didn't come up in this episode. In the end, Evangeline goes ahead with the abortion, at thirteen years of age and as for the stepfather who knocked her up, at least he gets to go to jail. And the entire Special Victims Unit doesn't get arrested by the state of Ohio. That's something. Not one of the better episodes. Dick Wolf is going to have to do a whole lot better than that. When I want to hear liberals talking, I will watch MEET THE PRESS with that lovable host Chuck Todd and waste electricity that way. So there.
