Should More TV Characters Have Abortions?

Village Voice writer Rebecca Raber has voiced a complaint about what's on television these days. Is it the mindless quality of a many shows? No. It's that there aren't enough women getting abortions in prime time:

"It seems like everyone in TV land is pregnant these days. All of those plot-pushing hookups that keep us tuned in week after week have resulted in positive pregnancy tests for Housewives and high schoolers on every channel. This is often an unwelcome surprise, but none of these fictional characters, unlike their real-world counterparts who might agonize over the choice to have a baby, will choose to end their pregnancies."

Even more painful to Ms. Raber:

"It's not just these programs on notoriously family-friendly, Disney-owned ABC where abortion is conspicuously absent. Fox, that bastion of taste and family values that brought us the Bundys of Married With Children and shows like The Littlest Groom (a/k/a I Want to Marry a Midget), might be more experienced with raunch and sleaze, but they're still clueless about what to do with the moral quagmire of abortion."

If Ms. Raber is right, abortion may be the only offensive issue not on TV. Let's hope it stays this way.
