It"s ashame that FOX has this groud breaking cartoon sitcom on it"s air waves, but pussy"s out when it feels it is time to make a moral dision what is best & what is not to air. Give me a break, you freaking hypocrites. Blow it out your a__!!! What the hell is happinging to FOZ???? All of a sudden they"ve grown a consience.
Good for Fox for not airing this episode of Family Guy....as a matter of fact, I think they should not show this offensive program at all. It is certainly NOT funny, and as far as I can tell, it has NO value at all except to shock. Do we really need any more of this kind of trash.
If you dont like it dont watch it.. Its my choice or not if I want to watch a cartoon do a skit on abortion.. I think it would be funny.. Would I let a 12 year old watch.. No.. But thats what parenting is.. Fox should not have pulled the show.
Wah wah wah! "I don't like that show! I want it off tv!" How about you shut up, don't watch that show and go back to watching Desperate Housewives. Have you seen this episode that they're pulling? You don't even know what it's saying about abortion. This show is hilarious satire that is enjoyed by people with a sense of humor who don't take themselves and everything else in life too seriously.
his show is a stupid waste of time and only apeales to idiots. Posted at 2:23PM on Jul 28th 2009 by snowcat idiots ??? go on with that spell check smart guy

I think "Family Guy" is one of the most disgusting program on! No wonder our society is degrading so fast!
