When a female character has an unexpected and/or unwanted pregnancy, someone may allude to the possibility of abortion (usually without saying the 'A' word). However, she will most likely not have an abortion for one of three reasons: She dismisses it immediately because of her religious/spiritual/moral beliefs or upbringing, or because she distrusts the procedure (especially if it would involve a Back-Alley Doctor). She thinks it over for a bit, but changes her mind due to the above reasons and decides to keep the baby. She learns her pregnancy test gave her a faulty result, or she suffers a Convenient Miscarriage—regardless if she wanted to have an abortion or not. Part of the reason for this is to avoid the wrath of the Moral Guardians, as abortion is a controversial subjectnote A 59% majority of U.S. adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 39% think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, according to Pew Research Center. Most non-western countries are also less permissive of abortion.. TV networks and film studios want to avoid polarizing/alienating a big chunk of the audience, and so abortion is a topic usually approached with deliberate restraint. Carrying a pregnancy to term is thus commonly portrayed as the “morally right” or “good” thing to do, which manages to please Moral Guardians and perpetuate myths about abortion itself (intentional or not). The other major reason why abortion is a rare occurrence in TV or films is because it does not offer the same advantages storytelling-wise that accompany typical pregnancy plotlines, such as childbirth or adoption storylines. For example, new Characters, all manner of Character Development, Wedding and Engagement Tropes, Adoption Tropes, etc. This trope is closely related to motherhood tropes, especially Mandatory Motherhood and Motherhood Is Superior. In recent years, a shifting film and TV landscape, the rise of multiple streaming services, and more women in writer's rooms has led to an increase in onscreen depictions of abortion as something women of all backgrounds donote the statistic is nearly one in four women in America, to be exact—women both "Good" and "Bad". See also Abortion Fallout Drama, for when a character does get an abortion and there is significant drama or fallout that accompanies the choice (may overlap if the story demonizes the person who got the abortion). No Real Life Examples, Please! This is a very sensitive topic, and the term "good" as applied to a living person is very subjective. |

Cindy of Barbara Slate's Angel Love comic book series decides to get an abortion when she gets pregnant from a night with her boyfriend, and although her friend Angel is opposed to the idea, she nonetheless accompanies Cindy to the abortion clinic where she ends up having a change of heart and mind and decides not to go through with it, but instead will marry her boyfriend so that her child will not be without a father. | |

One of the first storylines in Milestone Comics' Icon had the teenage sidekick, Rocket, discovering that she was pregnant. Everyone she asks for advice — including the socially conservative Icon himself — is sympathetic to her situation, and offer no objection to the possibility of her aborting. Rocket eventually decides that she was really fishing for a trusted authority figure to tell her to do what she wanted to do anyway — carry the baby to term. | |

Late in the School Days anime, Makoto gets Sekai pregnant, and alternates between claiming the baby can't possibly be his and pressuring her to get an abortion. This is used to drive home that Makoto's a Jerkass, as his main concern is that nobody else is willing to sleep with him after how he publicly rejected Sekai. However, it's also left up in the air whether Sekai was actually pregnant or not. It didn't end well. | |

Played straight in Now and Then, Here and There. Sara becomes pregnant as a result of a rape and tries to induce an abortion, but Sis convinces her to not take out her hatred of the man who hurt her on the baby. This one's a particularly egregious case of this trope considering that Sara is a psychologically traumatized young girl living in a war-torn dystopian hellhole who has limited access to health care and has no family or parents to help her raise the child or support her financially. Her only parental figure is Sis, who dies shortly after talking Sara out of the abortion. In addition, the doctor who gave the option of abortion, and the only real doctor we actually see in the series, was shot dead a few episodes ago, so it may actually be a non-option without putting Sara's life at risk as well. | |

BoJack Horseman: Beatrice, traumatized by the memory of her baby doll being cruelly taken from her and burned in front of her eyes by her father after she contracts scarlet fever, refuses to abort when she gets pregnant by Butterscotch, and gets essentially a Shotgun Wedding instead. It would have probably been more merciful to do so, as her resentment over the circumstances that led to Bojack's birth led her to become an Abusive Parent. Likewise, when she finds out her maid is pregnant with Hollyhock, she convinces the maid to give the baby up for adoption, although Henrietta had no intention of aborting in the first place. Diane chooses to abort her child, and while she's certainly not the nicest character on the show, she is one of the more morally good ones. She's also not judged for it in a moral sense, with the one person that did have issues with it having them because of her own struggles with infertility (as we find out later), but she accepts Diane's decision. Played with with the fake abortion (yes, FAKE abortion) Sextina Aquafina has: when Diane, her ghostwriter, accidentally tweets her decision to abort to Sextina's account instead of texting her husband, Sextina decides to spin this to her advantage and become the face of the pro-choice movement, and while she's an Alpha Bitch who decides to have her fake abortion live just for the publicity and controversy, she does bring levity and education to a very touchy subject, which gives other women the courage to abort when they might have been peer pressured into keeping it against their desires. Then Sextina gets pregnant for real and decides to keep her baby, quietly retiring. Diane and Princess Carolyn do not question Sextina's decision to keep her baby, only thinking of how they can help her hide it. |

In Ceres, Celestial Legend, Aya eventually learns that she's pregnant. Nothing is discussed for some time because the deaths of Chidori and Touya, who is the father of Aya's child, is in the foreground, until Aya returns to her home. She's still processing the news herself until her doctor friend asks her what she's thinking of doing. Aya quickly decides that she wants to have the baby, despite the circumstances being very difficult, and since the baby is 'part Touya', she doesn't want to get rid of it. | |

In Akkan Baby, just about everybody suggests that Shigeru and Yuki may want to give up their child (as in, for adoption). "I don't want to kill the baby!" are practically Arc Words. However, this is played with a side character, Mika, as she initially intended to get an abortion after Shigeo, Puni's father, left, but she was too far along. | |

In Hell's Kitchen, Full of Grace, when offered the option of abortion, Jessica declines immediately. While she had gone over the list of reasons to do it (no father to be there for it, her own personal issues, her tendency to invite danger) before letting her panic settle down and list the number of reasons to keep it, the biggest being that Matt (who she thought was dead at the time) would want to keep it. | |

Harry Potter fanfic "A Different Dursley Family" briefly mentioned abortion. In that fic, Vernon Dursley was expelled from Smeltings and cut from his father's will, which resulted in Vernon getting a job as a mechanic for a living. Despite this, he and Petunia still fell in love and had a son (who was named Ryan because this Vernon feared the child would be mocked if named Dudley). Petunia refused to even consider an abortion upon becoming pregnant (the pair still weren't married at the time) and they had Ryan. | |

Not only does she belong to a bloodline mercilessly persecuted by the royal family, she's a prostitute living in abject poverty, so her brother urging her to abort her accidental pregnancy by one of her johns comes off as more pragmatic than anything. She still refuses, and is vindicated in the long term by her son growing up into the most deadly warrior ever seen within the Walls. | |

"Pretty Girls" by Neko Case is a scathing criticism of this trope. The titular girls are waiting alone and abandoned to have their abortions. Their plight breaks Neko's heart, and she tells them not to let unfaithful boyfriends or Slut-Shaming politicians get to them. Neko criticizes the idea that abortion makes one a bad person as infantilizing, saying that pro-life advocates act "as though you [the girls] don't know why you're here" and compares them to Savage Wolves. She ends the song by assuring the girls that both they and their choice are valid, and that the girls even have the power to change the world. | |

Most (though not all) versions of "The Tango Ballad" from The Threepenny Opera make reference to Low-Dive Jenny having become pregnant by Macheath, who then forces her to abort the child. Interestingly, the song suggests that this was the thing that ultimately convinced Jenny to break off her engagement to Mac, even though she reminisces fondly elsewhere in the song about Mac having pimped, stolen from and beaten her repeatedly. | |

After Kathy in Shade, the Changing Man reveals her pregnancy with Shade's child, she and Lenny immediately begin discussing abortion, and Shade surprises them by turning out to be pro-life: Shade suggests many Applied Phlebotinum alternatives that would've turned this into a Space Whale Aesop had they been accepted. After several issues of Kathy and Lenny arguing on the principle of their right to choose (with Shade outnumbered and sulking,) Kathy ultimately chooses to keep the child. |

American Dad!: Stan and Francine sabotage a young couple's birth control, in order to slow them down so the middle-aged Smiths can keep up with the not-yet-30 couple (and thus keep them as couple-friends). While they are in the couple's bedroom (poking holes in condoms and replacing the spermicidal lube with marshmallow fluff) Francine raises the point that their plan won't work if the couple decides to have an abortion. Stan looks directly into the camera in a deliberately invoked example of Anvilicious: He looks into the camera, squints his eyes, and says "Oh, they won't have an abortion...because they're awesome." | |

The Irish play An Triail deals with a young woman who gets pregnant after being seduced by a married man. Her mother crosses the in-universe Moral Event Horizon by trying to trick her daughter into taking a drink that will abort the baby. Of course, given that everything goes to hell for Maire after she chooses to keep her baby, it's arguable that her life would have turned out better had she gone through with the abortion. | |

Implied in Sleepless Domain during flashbacks to when Mitsuki was pregnant with Kokoro. Kokoro said a member of the C.D.D. explained to Mitsuki what happens when an active magical girl gets pregnant- namely, that she loses her powers prematurely when they're passed on to the baby during childbirth- but Mitsuki decided to keep Kokoro anyway. | |

Played with in ef - a fairy tale of the two.. Yuuko gets pregnant, and is so adamant on having an abortion that she pulls out a knife and attempts to stab herself in the uterus before her boyfriend has to physically restrain her. He eventually calms her down and persuades her that keeping the baby wouldn't be the end of the world. They also bring up how they likely couldn't afford to pay for an abortion, which results in massive Fridge Logic about how they expect to afford the baby if they can't afford a one-time payment on the procedure. | |

Fables: Snow White dismisses abortion as a response to a magical (possibly dangerous) pregnancy via Rape by Proxy without even considering it. She's very old-fashioned, and it's implied that, as a whole, Fables refuse to even countenance abortion. Snow White offendedly asks if Dr. Swineheart is suggesting she's "gone native", adding that "some" (clearly meaning Fables vs humans) are still governed by duty and responsibility over their own happiness. She then threats to expel the doctor from Fabletown if he ever mentions the possibility again. In one issue it's implied that Frau Totenkinder ('Mrs Dead Children'), who used to get her magical powers from sacrificing a newborn baby annually, instead does some kind of work related to abortion in the Mundy community for the same effect. It's mentioned that the entire Fable community might turn against her if they found out, despite there being several retired mass-murderers among them and many characters who are still perfectly willing to kill in cold blood. When Lauren Beukes wrote a Rapunzel-centric arc in the "side stories about female characters" Spin-Off Fairest, it was revealed that Rapunzel helped Frau T make abortifacient herbal potions for village girls "in trouble", and had no problem with it. The bit in question was so irrelevant to what was going on in the story at that point that it came across as an Armed with Canon attack on the opinions expressed in the main series. It later gets revealed that a particularly vicious move by Max Piper rendered Fables virtually sterile, meaning that pregnancies are extremely rare. Some fans consider this a Retcon possibly done to soften the Unfortunate Implications of such a harshly condemnatory attitude. |

When Izaku finds out, he's enraged (as he was made as an Expendable Clone, abortion is his Berserk Button) and murders her, which is played as a tragedy and the first step that leads to his defeat. | |

Double subverted in the Harvest Moon fic Mind Brigade. Eve ends up pregnant from a one-night stand she had while partying in the city. Being a single woman who works as a bartender, she tearfully decides that having an abortion would be the best solution. Jamie doesn't condemn her choice, but it is shocking and it only confirms his belief that life isn't fair. In the end, however, Eve decides to keep the baby. She names her daughter "Jamie" (which thankfully is a Gender-Blender Name), after the recently deceased man. | |

In A Raisin in the Sun, the first thing the wife does when she finds out she's pregnant again is put a down payment on an abortion, even though it's clear that she really does not want to do it but feels she has no choice. Her husband is devastated to hear this, and it's not the abortion itself that troubles him so much as the circumstances that lead to them considering it, which underlines the desperation they feel throughout the entire story. They don't go through with it since they wind up with a bigger house and money to raise the child. Note that the play was written in 1959, before Roe v. Wade. | |

The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service takes hard questions to the next level as usual with the question: do good girls avoid infanticide? A recurring character introduced late in the series faces this dilemma when her grandmother, a midwife who performed infanticide services for unwilling mothers, passes away. She is left with the question of whether to take over her grandmother's work in order to help the women who need it, even though she really doesn't want to. A vision from her dead grandmother tells her she should not dedicate her life to a course she doesn't believe in, and she goes on with her career as a nurse at the children's hospital instead. | |

In The Elder Scrolls, a book series that has appeared since Daggerfall entitled "The Real Barenziah" suggests within Part 3 that Barenziah carried on an intimate affair with Tiber Septim in which she eventually got pregnant. Barenziah wanted to keep the child but, as a bastard child from a Dunmer mistress would be very inconvenient for the Emperor (illegitimate heirs to the throne tend to do that), he basically forced his healer to magically abort it against her will. This became a plot point later in the story as the story implied she also had trouble conceiving later in life due to the limited fertility of Dunmer and the trauma of the event. | |

The Goon shows Goon's Aunt Kizzie being pressured into getting an abortion by her lover after she became pregnant. Here it's not the abortion that's the problem but the fact that she clearly wanted the child but he didn't, so she did it to hold on to him and it becomes a moot point when he's killed shortly thereafter in an accident while performing. As a result of this when baby Goon is dumped on her by her brother she decides to raise him in the place of the child she wanted to keep. | |

Skip Beat! discussed this in the case of Saena Mogami, Kyoko's mother. She didn't realize she was pregnant for some time and thought of getting an abortion, but most doctors refused to do it because she was already in a weakened condition because of her strenuous job and malnutrition. While she was looking for a doctor who would go through with the abortion, the legal time-limit passed and she had no other choice but to give birth. | |

This is because Cameron is a Manipulative Bitch who purposefully forgets to take her birth control medication whenever she thinks her current boyfriend or lover is considering breaking up with her. She doesn't seem too upset by this, but "The Reason You Suck" Speech she gets from Jeannie Halverstad implies this is another aspect of Cameron's supposedly "Glamorous" life she's really ashamed of. | |

In the fourth of the Gensokyo 20XX series, this is played with and implied with subtly, as Yuuka notes that she is glad that society has collapsed because to think of what sort of advice a person could give to an emotionally fragile Ran would be horrid. Made a tad more explicit, all the while still being implied, later on, when Sakuya suggests she drink some herbal tea, to which she responds rather horrified, implying she knew what Sakuya could be talking about (we don't know if that was what a kid Sakuya really meant). | |

Sil'lice implies in Drowtales that her sister Snadhya'rune has had abortions, specifically referring to how she "murders her own children while they are still in the womb" which to a drow, who place a high value on motherhood and directly connect social status to how many children one has, would be an absurd concept, and Snadhya's rejection of this part of drow culture is seen as scandalous and shameful. However this trope is later twisted on its head when it's revealed that Snadhya has had a daughter, but she was carried outside of her womb thanks to the Jaal'darya's mana-tech, the implication being that Snadhya is such a Control Freak that she didn't want to be pregnant, but still wanted children. And even more shockingly, the "father" is none other than Mel'arnach Val'Sarghress. | |

In Christian Grey vs. Pepper Potts, while an actual abortion isn't discussed, when Black Widow ends up unexpectedly pregnant via birth control failure, she has to decide whether to have Bruce Banner halt her Widow enhancements or not (not doing so would have her body automatically have her miscarry early in the pregnancy). She's initially uncertain as she's haunted by memories of the first baby she had (stillborn), but decides to go through with it after coming to terms with it and realizing how much of a medical miracle it was that she and Hawkeye (who had a very low sperm count) could conceive any child at all. | |

Karin: Fumio went with reason 2, and carried the baby (Kenta) to term against her family's wishes. Later we see Kenta's father with another woman, who is pregnant and demands him to pay for an abortion. He gets a little pissed off by that. |

In Fruits Basket, this is used to show the differences in morality between Kyoko and Ren, though neither woman gets an abortion and they're portrayed in different lights because of their reasons for considering them. Ren threatens to get one to emotionally manipulate her husband into raising their future child as a boy, regardless of the baby's actual gender, because she's such a Yandere that she hates the idea of any woman, even a daughter, taking Akira's attention away from her. Kyoko, meanwhile, considers an abortion because she thinks it's better to not have a baby at all than to have one and possibly condemn it to a childhood as abusive and neglectful as her own was. She decides against it when her husband convinces her that she'll be a much better parent than her own were, and that he'll be there to help her. (He dies while Tohru's still little, but Kyoko is a good mother.) | |

Pokémon Reset Bloodlines: Played with in the Misty Gaiden. The only reason Misty's parents didn't abort her was because of the bad press it would bring them. Eventually we discover the trope was put in place to some extent in the verse, not by the author, but by the father of Ash Ketchum and his many half siblings using his abilities to make it so the mothers would not have abortions, with it being noted that a number of them would have done so without this in play. |

In Kiryuuin Chronicles, the issue isn't brought up but it does seem to be implied, considering Ragyou didn't see any other way out of marrying her abusive husband while pregnant with Satsuki besides being disowned, then again, the possibility that, if she didn't marry her abusive husband, her family might have disowned her anyway (whether she terminated the pregnancy or not) cannot be ruled out either. Either way, she elects to keep her pregnancy. | |

Family Guy: Peter tells a story about how he and Lois had gone to get an abortion when she was pregnant with Meg, but backed out when they arrived at the clinic and found out the abortionist had one arm. Another time he mentioned that he could find the black market as an actual store, just like the back alley abortionist, then said that he was glad she changed her mind but the important thing was that he found the guy. In "Peter's Daughter", when Meg thinks she's pregnant, she refuses to have an abortion. Lois suggests Meg consider drinking and smoking a lot to cause a miscarriage, but not to "wimp out halfway through", because Lois ended up with Chris. In the episode "Partial Terms of Endearment" Lois agrees to be a surrogate mother for another couple. However, the couple dies and she must decide whether or not to get an abortion. She does. The episode was finished but it was banned from airing on FOX; however, it is available on DVD and it is not known if it will air on [adult swim]. Peter's mother tried to get an abortion before she had Peter because it was from an affair. Because it was in Mexico, the abortion process involved hanging from a bar and being beaten like a pinata by a bunch of kids. As she was already full term when she decided to abort, Peter is born full size and healthy. When she sees him, she falls in love and keeps him. Though knowing Peter, he may very well have gotten brain damage from the procedure. Also spoofed in a quick gag when the family is watching Murder, She Wrote and Jessica casually mentions that she once had an abortion. "Aha!" says Peter. "So she's the murderer!" |

Double subverted and discussed in The Legend of Mother Sarah. The story's setting being a dystopian, After the End-like future where Earth is nothing a but a barren wasteland of warfare and power struggles, getting pregnant is inherently dangerous for a woman since you must be able to run away from bombings and gunfights anytime as these can happen anywhere, anytime. Double points when being a woman doesn't grant you any special immunity. The title character evokes the issue with the Mother Superior of the small religious community her daughter chose to join, saying that abortion and even child-killing aren't always avoidable in such a setting. However, it doesn't stop Satoko from carrying her own unplanned pregnancy to completion, as her newborn will also be a memento from her dead lover. | |

In Angel of the Bat, Stephanie Brown's reason for chosing adoption in the comics stems from abortion going against her religious beliefs. | |

Ansem Retort: Inverted. Aerith, who cannot be considered 'good' in any definition of the word, gets pregnant, and her immediate thought upon finding out she's pregnant is to drink jagerbombs until she miscarries. While drinking she actually starts having second thoughts about getting rid of her baby, and turns to a doctor for advice. However, that doctor is Zexion, who happily encourages her to abort so she doesn't have to stop drinking. Aerith goes through with the abortion with no regrets. Then her husband tries to feed the aborted fetus to Sora. Yeah, it's THAT kind of Black Comedy. | |
