The Fosters

  Every week, The Fosters finds a new way to make me cry often through empowering love, sometimes through supportive honesty. This week's big tearjerker caught me by surprise,though, because it's something very rarely depicted on television: The Fosters included a late-term abortion, and it was really damn sad.   On last night's episode, Lena developed life-threatening pre-eclampsia, and her doctor told her the condition was getting worse and endangering both her and her baby. After a wrenching conversation with her wife Stef and an even more wrenching one with her mother, Lena decided to terminate her pregnancy at 20 weeks. The show kinda-sorta glossed over the fact that that's an abortion, but it is. Everyone was very sad, but ultimately, the decision to survive and parent her five children seemed like the right one for Lena and the Fosters.  Read More... //www.vulture.com/2014/07/fosters-late-term-abortion-comes-to-abc-fam.html
