Law & Order S1E12 Life Choice
The clinic bombing carried out by anti-abortion extremists, which aired in 1991, did not have a prototype at the time, but it just foreshadowed the violent process of the anti-abortion movement after the 1990s.
◇ Since 1973, abortion has been conditionally legalized in the United States, but due to factors such as the laws of various states and the conservative culture and shortage of medical resources in some regions, the effective availability is still limited. Debates about abortion revolve around moral, legal, and religious views, involving issues such as the nature of personhood, the rights of the fetus, and women's rights over their own bodies. Pro-choice emphasizes that women have the right to decide whether to terminate the pregnancy, and pro-life emphasizes the right to the development and birth of the embryo or fetus.
◇ Various reasons for both sides
◇ Anti-abortion violence, which focused on harassment, arson, and malicious threats before the 1990s, has grown to include seven murders against abortion doctors and thousands of related crimes since the 1990s. Anti-abortion extremists are viewed by the government as a terrorist threat, some of whom pride themselves on being pro-life martyrs.
◇ The tit-for-tat tit-for-tat of the episode's essence at the trial, and Stone's Catholic background before the trial made him hesitant for a while, "Without the Roe V. Wade case in 1973, abortion would still be illegal, which means that , if the law hadn't been changed, this bombing wouldn't have happened." Robinette replied, "Then, if the law hadn't changed, I'd still be a slave. You can't turn back the clock."
