See what Danielle Bean says on her blog:
“Perhaps the confusion was a part of the show’s producers’ plan all along—a gimmicky means of getting people’s attention. But perhaps it was an unanticipated part of their cultural experiment. My own experience in writing online is that if there is even the slightest potential for people to misunderstand something ... they will. People read quickly and casually online, and then react instantly. That can be a public relations nightmare.
After I read a bit about the show’s background and watched the first episode, I determined that much of the initial negative response to Bump+ was based on misunderstanding. (You can watch the first episode here and the trailer video is embedded at the bottom of this post.)
I am intrigued.
Some have argued that ultimately this series fails because its promotes the idea that abortion is a “choice” and that all “choices” are equal.
But I don’t think that’s what viewers of this series will come away with. Whether we like it or not, abortion is still 100% legal in this country and thus it is absolutely open to women’s choices—both good ones and bad ones. In Bump+, we will watch these female characters make decisions about their pregnancies that mirror the kinds of decisions women in this country make every day.”
I still think its horrible.
Like Newspapers catchy headlines; anyway I don't watch tv.
