Just as precarious is the seemingly pervasive habit of portraying abortion storylines which feature few barriers to obtaining the procedure itself. “The biggest barrier [characters] face is actually being in a setting where abortion is illegal,” Herold noted. “Today in the United States, that’s not the biggest barrier people face.
“Shonda Rhimes — the influence of her shows can’t be overstated,” Herald said. “She’s done so much to really open up prime time, whether on. [She’s shown that] abortion can be portrayed with nuance and complexity, and can bring characters together instead of driving them apart.” ThreeOrange Is The New Black
Going forward, Herold hopes that Hollywood builds on these narratives and furthers the conversation by devoting time to characters whose various intersections inform their choices. She’d love to see storylines more concretely dive into the experience of abortion providers, as well as providing nuance to the experience of a transgender man or a gender nonconforming character considering an abortion, or “a character who’s in her 20s and a parent and maybe middle class instead of wealthy.
