Re: Based on #6

I used to think that abortion was, by nature, really traumatic and awful. I didn't think it was wrong, I absolutely believed in a woman's right to have one; I just thought it was a horrible thing to have to do. Mainly because that's how the media always portrayed it.

I was mid twenties before I realized that there was nothing inherently traumatic about it. It's not inherently a big deal. I'm not saying that if someone experiences it as traumatic their feelings are wrong. However someone experiences it is valid. I'm just saying there is no innate meaning or weight to it. In societies where abortion is readily available and not prohibitively expensive, it doesn't have to be more than an "oops" and a minor paint in the ass.

I think the media portrays it that way to scare women out of having them.

You're not wrong.

You're not wrong (2)

That said, I think it's less that the media itself wants to scare women out of having abortions, and more that the political right wants to scare women out of having abortions, and the media is scared of alienating the political right and cares more about the bottom line than it cares about what message it's conveying to the public.

The end result is the same, it's just that the motivations which go into building said result are more circuitous.

Or as a way of appeasing the anti-abortion segment of the audience while still being able to write a particular story line (having their cake and eating it too) or just for DRAMA.
