http://dannymiller.typepad.com/blog/2007/03/pine_valley_con.html "Erica only learned about the existence of her third child [in 2006]. In 1973, a few months after Roe v. Wade, 'All My Children' made television history when Erica Kane had a controversial abortion. Of course she developed an infection following the procedure and nearly died, which helped her husband Jeff Martin (and viewers) forgive her. Imagine how surprised Erica was last year when she found out that the doctor who had performed her abortion 33 years earlier had actually taken the embryo and implanted it in his infertile wife and then raised the child as his own. In one of the creepiest and scientifically ridiculous plot developments in the history of the show, Josh Madden, now a major character, is TV’s first living abortion. Oy."
