"A series of liberal editorials on medical and social issues"

Peter Hitchens is still pursuing his complaint against the BBC over pro-abortion bias on Call The Midwife. Here's his latest take on the matter, from his Mail on Sunday column: 

The Left-wing magazine Private Eye says the BBC’s drama Call The Midwife has become ‘a series of liberal editorials on medical and social issues’. 

A gaggle of pro-abortion groups has praised the programme for repeatedly handling this issue ‘extremely sensitively and courageously’, that is, in a way they like. 

Yet the BBC still absurdly denies any bias. A genuinely independent body must be created that can rule on such cases.

"We are a medical drama, not a moral drama"

According to the Radio Times, the new series of Call the Midwife will tackle female genital mutilation (FGM). 

The RT's interview with series creator Heidi Thomas makes it clear, however, that the BBC will not take a "moral" view on it and that FGM will be dealt with "as a fascinating medical aberration, not a grim abuse". 

The RT interviewer also notes that Ms Thomas refuses, during the interview, to use the term FGM, saying that she "chooses to refer to [it] in less charged terminology" (e.g. 'female circumcision').
