Interesting study of abortion on TV from @ANSIRH (U.S focus) 👇

[ANSIRH @ANSIRH]

Television this year featured at least 67 abortion plotlines, the highest number recorded since we started tracking plotlines yearly in 2016.

Check out this year's Abortion Onscreen report, featuring shows on @StreamOnMax, @netflix, @BravoTV, and more. https://t.co/CVqkiNBKWq

"It is not just straight women who have abortions.
Many of our grantees work specifically with LGBT+ communities and wanted images which reflect that."
