In movies and tv, a character never decides to terminate a pregnancy. I hate it.

In every plot, there's always this build up of what to do, and never once is there a decision to not go forward with a pregnancy - even in contrived situations where the potential father is a complete loser or the pregnancy will tear someones life apart. It drives me crazy. Obviously if the very unoriginal plot is just about two different people making a go of it, sure, you're trapped in that plot line, as is the fictional person stuck with parenthood. But there's never a character that makes the decision to end a potentially dangerous, life altering, unwanted pregnancy in such a way that it normalizes that it's one's right to do that. And I hate it. Every time pregnancy comes up, you can roll your eyes and know that somehow that actor is going to be stuck fulfilling society's expectations for that bad behavior that ended up there, and I find it pithy and unimaginative.

EDIT: I suppose I shouldn't have said "in every plot," because I know that there are examples now, especially in female written shows/movies. And I should have specified main characters, because in a lot of police procedural or medical shows, in order to have some variety there's likely going to be 1 episode out of 300 that deals with abortion with a non-recurring character so it doesn't affect the lives of the main characters. My gripe is with the bulk of mainstream media, movies, or books that use this as a plot device for a main character that far outweigh the 2 dozen examples listed here. Just because there are some examples does not mean it's not still far over used as a trope for female characters.
