Whenever I tell people how common abortion is, they are shocked. <BR/><BR/>Here is some great ammo to use when debating the anti-choice contingent:<BR/><BR/>http://wingnutwatch.typepad.com/wingnutwatch/2009/02/why-i-am-prochoice.htmlfutureshockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131024328687419483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663998229877546776.post-10548456489743316962009-04-05T09:32:00.000-04:002009-04-05T09:32:00.000-04:00I recommend Andrea Lee Press, Speaking of Abortion...I recommend Andrea Lee Press, Speaking of Abortion: Television and Women's Lives. Though it is somewhat dated (1999) and focuses on American women watching American TV, it considers how different women have responded to various abortion narratives, noting diversity among pro-choice viewers who often assume that there are good and bad reasons for having an abortion even as they remain in favour of safe, legal abortion.feministincowboybootsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663998229877546776.post-68368530664206367292009-04-03T00:33:00.000-04:002009-04-03T00:33:00.000-04:00Was that the first time Jordan got pregnant becaus...Was that the first time Jordan got pregnant because i seem to remember the second time she considered abortion and everyone was shocked to learn that she had had an abortion in the past. Or something like that.<BR/><BR/>Also later on JDs girlfriend gets pregnant and they consider abortion but in the end the decision is made for them and she says she has a miscarriage. <BR/><BR/>You should definately watch more Scrubs. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663998229877546776.post-18245610573450673572009-04-01T21:54:00.000-04:002009-04-01T21:54:00.000-04:00I think the simplest explanation is: anti-abortion...I think the simplest explanation is: anti-abortion people are offended (and loudly so) if the script involves an abortion (or even a mention of it). Pro-choice people are in favour of choice, so we don't stage letter-writing campaigns if someone makes one choice or the other.<BR/><BR/>When thousands of pro-choice sitcom fans stage letter-writing campaigns and sit ins over fictional women not-making-choices (this will never happen) networks will demand more such scripts from writers.<BR/><BR/>As it is, the squeaky wheel gets the plot lines.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037439918279912195noreply@blogger.com
