Just this summer, the female lead on "Defying Gravity" is shown agonizing, in a future where abortion is unlawful, over whether to terminate her unplanned pregnancy or remain in the astronaut corps. She ultimately takes the pill and ends the pregnancy. Indeed, this is a significant plot point that is referred to, sometimes indirectly, throughout the (too short) run of the series. -- Ed Dravecky III http://www.fencon.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
