I agree. A long time ago when "Girls" was the new popular show, I'd read an article comparing how "Girls" and "Sex and the City" approached abortion. I noticed how both shows were trying to destigmatize the fears of talking about abortion, but both shows kind of copped out by finding ways to not have their characters go through with an abortion.

While it was good that the shows presented the topic of abortion from the lenses of women (SATC had Sam and Carrie talk about their abortions and we see how differently Sam and Carrie view it, Miranda had to go back and forth on whether or not she wanted a child - and the show had touched this subject with Miranda before, she'd thought of freezing her eggs; "Girls" went out of their way to say the word "abortion" as much as possible), there is still a bit of a disappointment that neither show were willing to have one of their main characters go through with an abortion.

Shout out to "Jane the Virgin" for having a really good subplot about abortion (and I'm fairly certain it touches on a much bigger truth that we don't talk about when it comes to abortion in America: majority of abortions are women who are in/past middle life). I also loved how Jane was like "Mom this is serious, this is huge! Your emotions must be going crazy!" And her mom was like "Nah, it happens. I don't need this abortion define me in some way. Anyway..."

Oh that's nice about Jane the Virgin. I love that; an abortion isn't always a huge life-defining event. It can be, but it can also be just a thing that happened with no impact on a woman's life as a whole, same as any other minor medical thing. It's valid to feel any way about it, but it's honestly nice to see it portrayed as something that ISN'T cataclysmic. I have also noticed how most shows don't want their main characters to go through with an abortion. I mean I get it, it's such a hot topic, but I also wish it would become less taboo.
