Movies are escaping from the decades-old pattern of presenting abortion as inexplicably unthinkable.

That strange tendency became known decades ago, and I wonder whether the antiabortionist right-wing played some part in establishing it. In any case, I'm glad to see it go. Movies that treat abortion as a normal part of life will help spread that idea, especially in countries which repress abortion in the name of religion.

To see abortions mentioned as asides in movies which are mainly about something else would do even more.
