A recent episode of NBC’s crime drama “Law & Order” featured an IVF doctor left in an irreversible coma after her clinic was bombed by an angry pro-lifer who is retaliating against the clinic for destroying human embryos.

But it’s clear that this storyline wasn’t given much critical thought; after all, if pro-lifers believe destroying unused embryos is murder, then it wouldn’t logically hold that they would bomb an IVF clinic filled with these stored, unused embryos.

As Newsbusters reported, in the episode, a white man wearing a “Jeremy 15” bracelet was said to be the bomber, with three characters — Detectives Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) and Vincent Riley (Reid Scott), and Lieutenant Jessica Brady (Maura Tierney) — discussing the eyeroll-inducing, clichéd meaning behind the bracelet:

Brady: Was he able to give you a description of the bomber?

Shaw: One that fits half of New York City.

Brady: What about security cameras in the area where the bag was supposedly handed off?

Shaw: We’re not gonna have a lot of luck down there. Most of the cameras are busted. The one thing he did give us was that the so-called perp might go by the name Jeremy.

Riley: All right, what if Jeremy 15 is actually Jeremiah 1:5? “Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee.” 13 years of Catholic school. But blue bag, pink box. Those are pro-life colors.

Brady: And our vic’s a fertility doctor, right?

Riley: Yeah.

Brady: Well, that’s close enough for some anti-choice people these days. Check it out.

From there, the detectives visited the IVF clinic, where a staffer, who refers to abortions as “medically necessary,” corrects them about what the pro-life movement is. “The anti-choice, anti-science, anti-woman groups, you mean?” she asks. That led to an exchange about the horror of fetal personhood laws.

Nurse: [Sighs] The largest embryo we ever freeze is a mere 100 cells, invisible to the human eye, but the Alabama Supreme Court just ruled those cells a human life.

Shaw: And I bet the fetal personhood movement doesn’t like you guys destroying unused embryos.

Nurse: They think it’s mass murder.

Can You Be Pro-Life And Support IVF?

But if the “fetal-personhood,” “anti-choice,” “anti-science,” “anti-woman,” — am I forgetting one? There were so many insults to keep track of — movement sees destroying unused human embryos as “mass murder,” then why would a character from such a movement bomb a facility where those unused, frozen human embryos are stored, becoming “mass murderers” themselves?

Later in the episode, Assistant District Attorney Samantha Maroun is angered when the bomber, Patrick Wayne, can’t be charged with murder, as the IVF doctor is not officially dead; she’s portrayed as brain dead, but still breathing. So instead, Wayne can only be charged with attempted murder. “He killed a woman for giving other women reproductive choices,” she says in the episode. “And Patrick Wayne is not some lone lunatic. He is part of a movement, a growing movement, who is mounting an attack on women’s rights. We have to send a message!”

But let’s get back to real life, shall we? Let’s see… remind me… who issued death threats against Supreme Court Justices after Roe v. Wade was overturned? Who threw pipe bombs into pro-life ministries and vandalized and terrorized pro-life pregnancy help centers after Roe was overturned? Who vandalized pro-life churches? The majority (at least 70%) of post-Dobbs violence — according to the FBI — has been perpetrated by pro-abortion activists against pro-lifers, despite being downplayed by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice.

Pro-lifers and those who support their right to free speech, and even pro-life politicians, have received death threats. Pro-lifers have been threatened with guns (more here, here, and here), knives, and bombs. Some perpetrators have actually gone through with those threats, stabbing and shooting pro-lifers. Other pro-life advocates have been punched, kicked, attacked with Molotov cocktails, been victims of home vandalization, and more. Elderly pro-lifers are also not exempt

This only got worse after Roe fell.

A 2022 study from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) found there were 22 times as many attacks against pro-life organizations as pro-abortion organizations. Between May (when the Dobbs decision was leaked) and September of 2022, there were 135 attacks against pro-life groups; comparatively, there were just six attacks against abortion organizations.

“The bottom line is that after the Dobbs decision was leaked, there was over 22 times more violence directed against pro-life groups than pro-choice organizations,” the CPRC said. “However, if the media is less likely to cover violence [against] pro-life organizations, the 22 times estimate will underestimate the relative violence against these groups.”

After the Dobbs draft leak, pro-abortion group “Jane’s Revenge” threatened a “Night of Rage,” should Roe be overturned. They kept their promise, carrying out attacks on pregnancy centers, pro-life offices, and churches. Another pro-abortion group, “Ruth Sent Us,” doxxed the Supreme Court justices, organized protests in front of their homes, and even made threats against two of the justices’ children. They published explicit directions on how to get to the school Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s children attended, and targeted Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s wife, Ashley, with a tweet that included a picture taken outside her children’s school. This culminated in an assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh.

Yet in “Law & Order’s” delusional world of psychological projection, it is the pro-life movement that is filled with angry, violent criminals eager to murder innocent people.
