"Law and Order" to Feature Killing of Late-Term Abortionist

Last Friday's episode of Law and Order featured the shooting death of a late-term abortion practitioner in his church, "ripped from the headlines" surrounding the summertime shooting of George Tiller. Entertainment Weekly described the NBC program this way: "The killer is represented in court by an anti-abortion league lawyer played by Richard Thomas with perfectly calibrated restraint. . . . Thomas is nuanced where everyone around him is encouraged to take sides and squabble." EW said the shows two cops and two district attorneys each took sides in the abortion debate and says viewers would "be surprised at the low-key but still quite shocking final scene."
