(Warning: Spoilers ahead)  

Another day, another attempt to push the pro-abortion agenda on Americans through popular media.   

This time, the vehicle of choice is none other than Netflix, a multi-million-dollar streaming service responsible for shows with covert abortion themes as we’ve seen in shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Dear White People.  

Netflix’s “Ginny & Georgia” recently made headlines for its season 3 abortion storyline.   

The popular Netflix hit follows the journey of mother-daughter duo Georgia Miller, 30, and Ginny Miller, 15, along with Georgia’s nine-year-old son, Austin. Georgia and her children lack stability, thanks to Georgia’s loaded past, trail of ex-partners, and untimely and mysterious death of her husband. Hoping to give her children a better life, she moves them to the small town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts.  

Sadly, their troubles are far from over, often inflicted by Georgia, as she’s revealed as a mercy killer, embezzler, and manipulator. Meanwhile, Ginny struggles to make morally grey choices when protecting her family, herself, and friends.   

In the show’s third season, Ginny makes an objectively bad choice. When she learns she’s pregnant by her ex-boyfriend, Marcus Baker, the show paints her decision to end her child’s life by abortion as a mature one. Not that Georgia is the moral stamp of approval, but her mother approves and supports her regretful mistake.   

This episode of Ginny & Georgia is trending—because a 16-year-old girl, Ginny gets an abortion.

What if one person had told her:
“You’re strong. You can do this. You can raise your baby.” She would have felt empowered to keep her baby, just as it seems her mom kept her.

The show’s attempt to normalize abortion presents obvious issues. Not only is abortion an abhorrent evil, but in the context of the show, it undermines Georgia’s character. Her actions always come from a fierce desire to protect her family and those around her despite all of her flaws.  

Not to mention, Georgia chose Life for Ginny at the young age of 15, so it would make more sense if the show followed that line of thought and had Georgia encourage Ginny to keep her precious child.   

Instead of Students for Life of America (SFLA) praising the show, we’re criticizing it as part of a long-standing pattern of television and film championing the abortion industry’s narratives (though can we be surprised? Hollywood and the abortion industry both have departments solely dedicated to normalizing abortion in media). As the culture shifts away from abortion, the normalization of it becomes more jarring and out of place.   

A good example of this unnatural and jarring attempt to insert abortion nonchalantly into entertainment appeared in HBO’s “Girls,” which resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter). In an episode, Gillian Jacob’s character, Mimi-Rose, casually tells her boyfriend, Adam (Adam Driver), that she can’t go for a run because she had an abortion. Much to Adam’s shock and horror, Mimi-Rose is completely unfazed, talking about it like it was any other day.   

Let’s be real.

HBO’s “Girls” attempted to normalize abortion as “women’s empowerment,” but all I can see is the devastating reaction of a father-to-be who just found out his baby was killed.

The reality of abortion is a serious one, not to be conflated with the callousness from Girls or the maturity angle from Georgia & Ginny.   

Reality doesn’t line up with fiction. Even the University of California San Francisco’s 2023 “Abortion Onscreen” report admitted television and film depictions of abortion are unrealistic, mainly highlighting “logistical, financial, and legal barriers” to obtaining an abortion. 

Meanwhile, the media continues neglecting the mental anguish mothers feel when aborting their children. Mental health issues include depression, insomnia or night terrors, loss of self-confidence, relationship issues, feelings of isolation, substance abuse (alcohol or drugs), and even suicide.  

Let’s not neglect the serious physical complications highlighted by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC). Their study finds that “Serious adverse events from mifepristone are approximately 22 times more frequent” than the FDA reports, which means that more than 1 in 10 patients will “experience at least one serious adverse event.”

This is a far cry from the media’s lackadaisical portrayal of post-abortive mothers. Abortion is full of pain and regret for women, and unfortunately, TV shows like Georgia & Ginny could deceive women into walking a dangerous path.   

The media needs to put a halt to normalizing abortion and instead normalize the truth: abortion betrays women and kills preborn children. Both deserve better.
