Our beautiful boy Luke is grounded with illness this week, but Will valiantly soldiers on! Friend-of-the-show Violet Lucca (web editor at Harper's) makes her triumphant return to the show to discuss the history of abortion on film, from 1916's eugenicist WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN to FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH to 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS to the acclaimed new film PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE. We discuss how male- and female-authored films have depicted abortion differently, and the "both sides" films of the '90s/2000s.

Interesting topics last two episodes. Its nice when you branch out a bit. I must also complement Will on, as oppossed to Luke, not recording in a cathedral

On another podcast I recently heard about the lead character’s legal abortion on All My Children. “In 1973, All My Children’s Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) was the first TV character to have a legal abortion. It was the same year as the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling, so it was a controversial storyline to say the least.” https://soaps.sheknows.com/all-my-children/news/23249/all-my-children-throwback-thursday-poll-ericas-ab/ In a darkly hilarious turn, a writer ret-conned the abortion in 2005, paralleling the counter-revolutionary culture wars. Still, quite remarkable for a daytime TV character who continued to be an America’s sweetheart type regardless. How far we have regressed.
