In the first season of "Spenser For Hire" (ABC, 1985-86), Spenser's girlfriend Susan Silverman got pregnant and considered an abortion. The couple argued about it, with Spenser being strongly opposed, but they did not break up over it. It's been two decades since I've seen the episode, and I can't remember if it ended with Susan getting the abortion or having a miscarriage. In either event, I do remember the episode ended with the couple holding hands as Susan laid in her hospital bed. -Tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
