That said, it was still better than Sick Girl, Chocolate, Jenifer and Fair-Haired Child at least, and about on part with Dreams In The Witch House, landing it about the middle of last season's episodes quality wise for me.

Be interesting to see how this season's ep turns out...

For what it's worth, in hope to stave off the loopy left of TB, I'm pro choice the way Europe is pro choice. We on the right are always being told to look to Europe for guidance. Take a look into the abortion laws of England and France. You may be surprised that it is nothing like the no-holds-barred approach that is practiced here in the US.

Last season was overall very damn mediocre, this season so far is, amazingly, even worse, and yet this episode still manages to be one of the absolute worst MOH episodes yet.

To say this with full knowledge that my man John Carpenter directed this gives me not an ounce of joy at all, but that still doesn't stop it from being true. :-/

Coming Home, despite being awful, was counter-intuitive/counter-prod uctive to the left agenda. Briefly, dead soldiers came back to life to vote. Presumedly to protest why they were sent to war. And when they arose and voted -- they died again LONG BEFORE their votes were tallied. Whelp, so much for those Diebold controversies (surprisingly quiet this past year). You do the math.

It is a parent's obligation to shepherd a child to adulthood. Part of that is coaching a child though traumatic experiences. Traumatic experiences such as abortion.

Now, granted, there is a percentage of parents that will physically or mentally abuse their pregnant daughter on being told that she is pregnant. And every time legislation is brought forth that would allow her to approach private counsel with a judge it is smacked down by leftists. Note that I don't write Democrats. I write leftists. The same people that smack down legislation that would prevent an adult from transporting a minor across state lines to circumvent state laws regarding parental consent.

I mentioned this earlier, but it apparently fell on deaf ears (or eyes, as it were). We're constantly told by the left (again, not Dems) to look to Europe for guidance. In England, you can get an abortion up to the fourth month, after which you need approval by a doctor. In France, you can get an abortion up to the third month, after which you need approval by a doctor. Don't focus on the fact that you'd need a doctor's okay. Focus on how the ultra liberal French is more strict than the American friendly England!

But bottom line, there you need doctor approval after a certain time. Here you don't. In America, a woman at the end of her third trimester can be giving birth in a room next to another woman at the same term that is undergoing partial birth abortion, where the child is alive for all but seconds. Is she giving birth or removing a wart/filling a cavity?

Give a teen an out and they'll take it. If you don't understand this, then you're not a parent or you're not a teen.

Analogy time. Anyone see Heroes on NBC? Claire doesn't want to tell her dad about her ability. She isn't pregnant and there is no immediate consequence of her informing him, yet the reluctance is there. Talk about euphamism. As a tenured father I can tell you folks in earnest -- there is no parential engineering possible that can circumvent a child's tenacity in circumventing accountability.

If you don't understand this, then you are not a parent.
