Pro-Life Themes on Six Feet Under:
…In the show’s second season, Nate Fisher (engaged at the time) confronts an old flame (Lisa) who tells him she’s pregnant with his child ? and that she’s choosing to have the baby. Keeping with the show’s habit of employing ghostly visions and apparitions, we later see Nate working late in his office. A little girl enters, about seven years old.
“Hi,” she says. “You killed me. It was about seven years ago, remember? You drove Lisa to have me killed.
Nate looks up, horrified.
“Oh, don’t get me wrong,” she says, “I don’t harbor any bad feelings or anything. I’m pro-choice. Well, at least I would be, if I were alive.”….
I have never seen Six Feet Under, although it seems like the kind of show (an ongoing drama with an unusual setting, big story arcs, and complex characters) that I might like (if my lifestyle permitted my staying up till 11 PM to watch a TV show, and if I weren’t too darn cheap to shell out the bucks for HBO, but I digress.)
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of a TV show that actually showed what the choice in pro-choice means.
