"A new webcast series will focus on the fictional stories of three women who face unintended pregnancies. It will allow viewers to choose how the characters’ stories will end for the final episode."

How is this really any different than the crowds in the Roman Coliseum raising or lowering their thumbs to decide the fate of the vanquished gladiator? The shouts of Mitte! or Iugula! will be heard once again, the crowds granted the power of life and death over another innocent human being; a power that should be reserved to God alone.
I realize that these are fictional stories but it kind of reminds me of target shooting. The military and police use human shaped targets far a reason. The military found that by shooting at something shaped like a person soldiers were more likely to pull the trigger when confronted with the real thing. Before the change most soldiers would intentionality miss or not fire at all when they first went into combat. After the change, this problem mostly disappeared.
Shows like this serve the same purpose. They get people accustomed to the idea that they have a choice about whether their baby lives or dies. They learn to pull the trigger.
We should be on our knees begging forgiveness but instead we've turned murdering children into a game show. We deserve the fate we've asked for.
