Sickening: TV's Scandal Uses "Silent Night" as Music Track for Character's Abortion

RUSH: I think Scandal has jumped the shark. Did you see Scandal last night? Anybody in there see Scandal last night? Have you ever seen, you ever watched Scandal? Oh, you never have. Oh, okay. Well, Kerry Washington is the starette, and she plays a major Washington DC fixer named Olivia Pope, styled after an actual person.

Anyway, for the entirety of the series she's had a running affair with the sitting president, A.J. Fitzgerald, whatever the hell his name is. I haven't seen any episodes this season. I've got 'em TiVoed, but I think they jumped the shark a long time ago. It's gotten beyond the so far out it's entertaining still stuff enough to watch phase for me. But apparently last night she got pregnant by way of the sitting president A.J. Fitzgerald or Fitz, whatever his name is, who cares, and she has an abortion to the tune of Silent Night. Yep, she has an abortion and it's glorified, it's celebrated, it's heralded. She has an abortion, smiling, it's a paean to Planned Parenthood, it's a tribute to Planned Parenthood. I mean, it's just sickening apparently.

She has an abortion, and lying on the table with the actual abortion taking place, and then camera shots showing you what it would look like with the doctor making the move from behind her head (singing) "Silent Night." And there's a couple other things added to it that apparently is just sickening, generally, literally sickening. Again, I haven't seen it. I had a bunch of people telling me about it. I haven't seen a single episode this season. I've got 'em all TiVoed in there. Well, I have them on Apple TV. If I ever get really, really bored I've got 'em in reserve. You know, get sick and can't leave the house for whatever reason. But I haven't watched.
