WHY "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES" HAD ME FEELING DESPERATE LAST NIGHT

Last night on "Desperate Housewives," Lynette Scavo thought she may be having a recurrence of cancer. We watched her make an appointment with her doctor, and then we saw her in the doctor's office awaiting the results of her tests.

When the doctor came in, and told her they had found something, she was distraught.

The following exchange took place:

Lynette: "The cancer is back, isn't it?"

Doctor: "No, the cancer isn't back. You are pregnant."

Lynette (even more distraught now): "I'm pregnant?! Are you sure the cancer isn't back?"

This exchange pointed out to me once again how warped our society has truly become.

We have forgotten that a zygote, an embryo, a fetus, or any other scientific name you would prefer to use rather than BABY, carries with it this definition: a living organism, i.e. LIFE, growing under a woman's heart!

UNDER HER HEART!!!

If every little girl was taught from the earliest age, that babies grow under her heart maybe, just maybe, attitudes would change.

Maybe, abortion on demand would become a thing of the past.

Maybe, abusive mothers would become extinct.

Maybe, screenwriters would not write words that suggest cancer is preferable to pregnancy.

Maybe, respect for life in ALL its forms from conception to natural death, would be a way of life in our world, and not just a seemingly impossible dream!


MAYBE...JUST MAYBE.
