I don’t know of too many shows that have featured an abortion in the storyline. Shameless comes to mind, but the circumstances surrounding the event were pretty trashy — par for the course for that show. The American Shameless, not the UK one.

It may have been representation, but it wasn’t good representation for reproductive rights/health.

I think Bojack did a good job representing the different kinds of discourse on the subject, while also showing how impactful representation can be. However it was a relatively short arc that did not get much of any revisit
