I don’t see that as an obvious or even necessary question. The original aired just before Roe, this would air just after. Seems like a pretty similar context. And really that episode would have been controversial at anytime in between, considering how rarely mainstream TV characters get abortions. I have just been doing a re-watch of Veep (for the 4th time) and appreciated that they did it.
Would like to see a list of ten most prominent TV show characters to get an abortion (not with an abortion as part of their backstory, but getting an abortion after getting pregnant during the show). Are there even ten?
