[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone has changed the dialogue to make it sound like LTW might have had a medical abortion. The line is:

“I just need a minute to wrap my head around this new reality. I will. I always do.”

She doesn’t say she’ll “handle it” or “take care of it.” Quite the opposite: earlier she admitted she had thought about it but decided not to.

I don’t get the need for this particular conspiracy theory. It’s clear there was no need for LTW to deceive her husband my faking a miscarriage. She even willingly goes to the hospital with him. [/quote]

I think the entirely of the discussion left it more ambiguous. He tells her she can handle it, You always do. He says he will "help." He never offers more than that, except permission to terminate if that's what she wants. The conversation ends with it all being on her. She lies back down with clearly a lot of thoughts. Her comment, "I always do," is said immediately in follow up to the need to wrap her around around her situation, but the repetitive phrasing of "I always do" sounds like she's connecting to his previous comment as well.

PP is right. Lisa literally says she doesn't want to get an abortion. A miscarriage is totally realistic, this is not some covert abortion. You are really weird.[/quote]

It was the usual American television cop out. Heaven forbid someone actually have an abortion. The second she said that she wouldn’t, I told myself, “Here comes the convenient miscarriage.”

For how the real world works, watch the Canadian series, “Working Moms.” It’s wonderful on many levels. Ivan Reitman’s daughter created it and stars in it.

Carrie had an abortion.
Samantha had TWO abortions.
Miranda came so close she was in the medical office.

How many main characters in one fictional world need to have abortions to make you either:
A) Understand that the women (and men like LTW’s husband) are pro-choice and seriously consider it to be an option, or
B) Feel better about having yours?[/quote]

Carrie and Samantha discussed those abortions as something in the past (like college for Samantha). It’s the most common surgery for women in the US, and 25% of women have one. If women would talk about it then maybe we could get more support. And no I don’t regret it all.  Never for one second. And I don’t know a single woman who has regretted it. [/quote]

Well, I do know women who regretted it. Know how I know that? Women talk about it.

There is no taboo topic on SATC. Sorry you are feeling defensive for whatever reason, but a married, mid-40s or 50something woman who already has kids deciding to keep an unplanned pregnancy after considering abortion, then ending up having a miscarriage, is not a far-fetched storyline. I challenge you to search related terms right here on DCUM, and you will find that very scenario played out in real life. [/quote]
