Review of The Burden of Our Choices

I actually liked this episode. It was interesting and moving and I think it puts the issue of abortion in a decent perspective. Most people see abortion as either a complete right or an awful sin. The truth is - it's neither. It's a complicated moral situation that deserves our absolute attention. The episode did a good job addressing it but it could have been done even better. People who are pro-life are not all religious zealots. Carisi is a good example. He can see both sides and try to balance the two to find the right answer. I wish Benson would be less judgemental and do the same. If you think about it, Benson has done so much good in her life and she is the result of rape! That doesn't mean I support rape or incest. Those are awful crimes and the people who commit them should be punished! But it does mean that something good can come out of it. Same goes for Noah, her son. She is the adoptive mother of a child born from an awful situation. She has him in her life because of it. Would she prefer he wasn't there? Abortion is not the only option. It's not black or white. The problem is that people are convinced there's only one right answer. There isn't! We shouldn't judge each other so much and discuss the issue with best intentions at heart. If we do that, we could come up with a good solution. Oh, and one more thing, I did NOT appreciate the Nazi reference! I wish people would stop using it to their own advantage. Make your point without that. It's belittling the Holocaust.
