So the TV show Scandal shows an abortion with Silent Night playing

It's symbolism of killing the wee baby Jesus. I'm not offended, but it is in poor taste.

I am a fan and I especially like the soundtrack.

That is the way I took it. IIRC that was just one 5-6 second scene in a montage of images and scenes while that song was playing and the episode was wrapping up.

I'm not saying they weren't meaning it to be a poignant moment, but it wasn't the only thing going on.

Regardless, I think the show has ran out of track and the characters don't have anything else to do or situations to explore and the only thing left to do now is try to shock and disturb people with violent unsavory acts.

To Liberals this is almost the perfect Christmas setting. The only thing missing was a soothing narrative by a militant transgendered Gender Studies professor who yells "F*** George Bush!" every 14 seconds.

They practically have orgasms over this sort of vile, deranged garbage.

Exactly! Funny how there's an uproar over abortion being murdered when just the scene before someone was shot, execution style. But no one is complaining about that violence.
