#and that religious kook wanting to overturn roe v wade

[palomahill]

I’m having A Thought here.

Realizing that the _only_ time I’ve ever seen abortion presented in fiction as a simple medical decision and thing that just needed to happen was on Vida (great tv show. I am a freaking voracious reader and I can’t think of a single book example.). And that is bad, really really bad. Because abortion is not infrequently a simple medical decision and / or a thing that just needed to happen and we need to understand that as a society, which I guess means we need to normalize it.

I’m mostly a painter, my writing goes to a very very small audience. And abortion is such a swept-under-the-rug thing in this culture that I’m not even sure how to go about incorporating it in a normal-thing-that-happens way in fiction, rather than a pivotal-agonizing-plot-point way which I’m all too familiar with and wouldn’t want to do.
