Goofs
The garden store owner wasn't saying that nitrate-based fertilizer was only good for palm trees. She was saying that the particular brand of nitrate fertilizer the defendant ordered was only good for them, that type of fertilizer has much a higher concentration of ammonium nitrate in it which would kill most other plants.

Quotes
Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone: If abortion is murder, then no matter how you feel about Mary Donovan, aren't you guilty of the murder of her unborn child?

A Great Discussion of Abortion

When an abortion clinic is blown-up and a young woman dies, Greevey and Logan investigate the case. They believe the victim has brought the bomb and accidentally died. However, their further investigation point to someone who has commanded the bombing, Rose Schwimmer, and a martyr, Celeste McClure. Now the DA's Stone and Robinette have to prove that the suspects are guilty.

"Life Choice" is a great episode of "Law & Order", with a great discussion about abortion. Each character has an opinion, but the most important is to find the truth of who is responsible for the death of the Twenty-two year old school teach. The conclusion is excellent. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Escolha de Vida" ("Life Choice")
