Started Out Normal
Much like The Rookie of American TV, Call the Midwife started fairly normal. However, unlike The Rookie, it appears these changes were not due to pressure from woke interest groups. Oh no. Rather it feels like something far more insidious. Rather they are slow selling wokeness and especially the idea of abortion on demand by pushing it through the lens of seemingly unassuming nuns. It's like this: Nonnatus House (clever viewers understand that Nonnatus is a sneaky pun for non-natal, as in "no children being born"). They show childbirth after childbirth, and gullible viewers are supposed to gush over the children and not notice what they are indoctrinated about. But the overall picture is that the streets of Britain are literally just crawling with new babies every day, causing poverty, filth, and overcrowding. Then by about season 8, they openly say that if abortion were legal, there wouldn't be the problems of back alley abortions. Oh really. Because children sucked through straws and dumped into biohazard bins, or formerly living humans in jars, or parents dying from rusty tools isn't ever a problem. We also have the typical racial revisionism, with early 50s and 60s British streets filled with Muslims, blacks, Hindus, etc. But what is completely disgusting is how the show plays on people's feelings in order to slowly get them used to the idea that abortion is fine. I liked the series until I realized what I was watching. Then I routinely go for a snack when the show turns on.
