[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should have had LTW get an abortion. Such a missed opportunity for meaningful storytelling, especially in the current political climate.[/quote]

We already had two main characters—Carrie and Samantha—talk about their abortion experiences. We don’t need a third main character to go through that. I think a lot more women of LTW’s age related to getting unexpectedly pregnant at an advanced maternal age, feeling conflicted but deciding to keep it, then losing it. In fact, there have been numerous threads about that on DCUM.[/quote]

It is probably the most realist outcome, at her age. [/quote]

99% of unwanted pregnancies on TV shows magically end in miscarriage rather than abortion. It's such a cowardly and tired storyline. [/quote]

Agree. That was especially weak for a show that’s been extra blatant about addressing all things gender.

An abortion or her having the baby with reservations and the impending doom on her life and career would have made more sense here. [/quote]

You are crazy if you think a character played by a 52-year-old actress was not extremely likely to miscarry an unplanned pregnancy. [/quote]

It’s baffling to me that people are questioning the storyline. Over 95% of pregnancies when you get to age 50 or around in a miscarriage. Incredibly incredibly likely this is how the story would end. I was actually angry when Charlotte and Lisa were at the glass store, and Lisa was acting as if this baby was gonna be born and she was going to be breast-feeding it.

This is not father of the bride part two folks. If she was 43, even mid 40s, OK, but this is a show about women in their 50s - a viable pregnancy storyline is just not gonna hold water.

But, I am 47 and this is why I am keeping my IUD until 52. I do like that they dealt with the realities of this age - pregnancy while rare is possible, but miscarriage is very probable.[/quote]

The whole storyline was pointless. The odds of conceiving at that age are about 1%.   So for 8 years she never had a follow up conversation with husband about a vasectomy?  She is smart, so that’s unbelievable.  Realistically, they could have showed her having an abortion, without shame or guilt. [/quote]
