SAME!!!
And, in a lot of the very few shows that go the abortion route, they always make sure to have at least one (main or side) character having an abortion and getting all weepy and sad and 'omg, my baaaaaaaaaaaybeeeeeeeeee!!' about it. Just to show that even though it's a CHOICE YOU GET, you'll be all sad and fucked up about it most likely.

They did a pretty good job of it in 'Shameless', and an excellent job of it in 'Sex Education'. I can't think of any others, sadly.

Crazy ex girlfriend has a pretty good story about a character getting an abortion.
If I remember correctly she choose that because she already has grown up children (like middle or high school?) and she wanted to concentrate on her career. Her husband is fully supportive and even relieved.

So far it's my favourite because it's treated like it's not something tragic nor character defying. Like. It happens. And then it's not mentioned ever again, I think.

That sounds really faily, to be honest. My mother had an abortion between having me and my sibling, and told us about it when we were older. Emotionally, it wasn't a big deal for anyone involved.

Entirely disconnected from all practical considerations, it was a loss, but considering what it would have meant to try to raise a second baby at a time when she was already stretched too thin taking care of existing people, it wouldn't have been fair to anyone involved to try to keep it. Starting with her.

But ... there's very little media in the world that seems prepared to deal with the emotional nuance of its being something that was loving. Which it was.

I'll check out your recs if I can, thanks.

THIS. There always seems to be some character saying something about how 'god will provide' or 'there's help out there', like it's so easy. Abortion can TOTALLY be done out of love, for the family you already have. The ultimate in responsibility, if you ask me.

Yeah.
