Note to self: Do not watch House when they are trying to deal with reproductive issues. Just don't do it. You will only get pissed off.

TV is off now.

hahahahaha.... you have to send me a synopsis. Does TWOP cover this one?

I was only half-watching. But there was a pregnant woman who was having various problems, and they finally decided that it wasn't her kidneys, etc etc, failing, it was the fetus's, and that was killing her. So House walked into her room and says you have to have an abortion, and she said she'd refuse to consent, and he said "the fetus is only 21 weeks old and nonviable and you'll die before it becomes viable" - and that's about where I turned it off. They already had an episode this season in which House tried to browbeat/force someone to have an abortion (the other was a rape victim). I ranted about it here (http://kassrachel.livejournal.com/457652.html?thread=2913972#t2913972).

So much for conservative stereotypes of the evil pro-abortion Planned Parenthood employee...

Proof that those people don't know the first thing they're talking about.....

Same rule applies to any of the following:

* Red Sox games
* Animal Planet
* My Name is Earl

You're right, of course, about the browbeating being a ridiculous thing to do, but I took it in stride. House always does whatever he thinks it will take to make the patient do what he thinks they should, so it didn't seem out of character to me. Despicable, yes, but believable.

I knew House was probably doing that just to get what he wanted, but I just couldn't listen to it again, after he actually did have that conversation with another patient earlier in the season.
