As states pass record numbers of abortion restrictions, TV and film go to the abortion clinic, with varying results.

A young woman sits at her kitchen table, or maybe on her bed, head in her hands, circles under her eyes. The results of the pregnancy test discarded in the bathroom are positive. She reaches for the phone to find somewhere nearby to provide her the option of an abortion.

Hundreds of women face this reality each day, but on the big and small screens, that phone call is a rare occurrence. The call actually resulting in an abortion is a particularly notable taboo, one that has been broken so few times in mainstream pop culture it can be counted on two hands.
