Holy crap! Was that an implied backalley abortion in the opening seconds of this episode of I Spy? I think... I think it was.

On a slightl related topic...

A woman called the maternity unit today asking if the hospital performs abortions. We don't. But the vibe I got through the phone was that she wasn't seeking an abortion- it was more like she just wanted to know if we did or didn't.

It was a weird conversation is all I'm saying.

"Yes, but only on black babies."

"Yes, but only after the third trimester."

"Yes, but not if you're Christian."

All three seasons are up there now, so I don't know what else they might add that would trigger your subscription.

Weird. Not the first instance of abortion on American TV, though. Look up THE DEFENDERS some time; they did a whole episode on abortion, ending with an argument for legalization, in 1962.

Oh man, The Defender was such a political show.

In that I Spy ep, I guess that's how you know he's a villainous doctor? That was an establishing shot? But it doesn't really make a lot of sense -- context establishes pretty thoroughly.
