Mr. Homnick seems to believe that simply because we don’t hear about Hollywood starlets having abortions that it must not be happening. For some reason I just don’t think that is the case because there is a lot of stuff that goes on in Tinseltown that we in the American hinterlands don’t hear about. There are plenty of instances of extramarital affairs in Hollywood that go on that we never hear about, but does that mean it doesn’t go on? For years people thought that Rock Hudson was just the quintessential hetero heartthrob, when he was in fact a closeted homosexual; we didn’t hear about his sex life, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have one!
As for “giving Hollywood credit” for their treatment of the abortion issue, movies like Juno are more the exception than the rule. For every movie or television show that doesn’t promote abortion, there are a score of them that do. According to most Hollywood scripts abortion is the noble way out when people are too young, too poor, or unprepared to be parents; a script like Juno stands out because it is so utterly different from the usual fare.
p>It is fine to give credit when it is due, but don’t give too much credit to those who don’t deserve it. Juno and Jamie Lynn Spears notwithstanding, Hollywood is still not all that adverse to the notion of abortion. Just look at all the celebrities who turn out for the big pro-abortion rallies and then tell me that Hollywood has “taken over the cause of teaching the world that life, even when the titles and subtitles are out of synch, is always beautiful.” br> — Eric Edwards br> Walnut Cove, North Carolina /p>Mr. Homnick’s declaration that Hollywood starlets don’t have abortions is rather absurd. I don’t think that the myriad of press agents and publicity handlers that serve them would release monthly squibs to Cindy Adams on their clients’ latest abortion details.
p>However, there are quite a few Hollywood tarts that have been hospitalized for “exhaustion” (cough, cough) and several of them have had more than one “appendectomy.” (wink, wink).
