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.
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.
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.

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