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

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.
