I was channel-surfing last night and caught an awful idea of George Carlin’s for an unmentionable [anti-life] reality channel. It gave me a rather good idea that could save thousands of lives per day.
Imagine “The Pro-Life Channel: All Life, All the Time”.
Victor sits back in his easy chair after a long day. He has just come home from his girlfriend’s house, where they had come to a unified decision about her unplanned pregnancy. They both needed to finish graduate school, and it seemed like the rational thing to put off having children until they had gotten their degrees, stable professional positions, and a nice house.
He flicks through the channels and stopped at an amazing picture on PLC. He sits mesmerized by Lennart Nilsson’s photography featured in the documentary “The Miracle of Life”.
A commercial comes on for Pampers. They were all too happy to support such an effort. The more babies were born, the more bottoms needed to be covered.
He picks up the phone and calls his girlfriend.
“Turn on your television set.”
“What?”
“Just stop whatever you’re doing and turn on channel 726.”
“Okay, whatever.”
“You found it yet?”
“Oh my God….”
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
“[sobbing]”
“I guess we’re having a baby, honey.”
“[sniff] Yeah.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Congratulations, Mommy.”
I hope my idea makes it around because I would love to see it come to fruition!

You are truly a visionary! From you mouth to God's ears (and maybe a wealthy investor on the way)!
