Any fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer can tell you that its titular heroine has faced her fair share of trials and turmoil that forced the young woman to make some very grown up decisions. But in the latest issue of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 comic series — which chronicles Buffy’s life in San Francisco after she destroyed the seed of all magic on earth at the end of the Season 8 comic — Buffy Summers will face perhaps the toughest decision she’s ever had. SPOILER ALERT for those who would rather read about it in the issue itself, “On Your Own, Part 1,” out in stores today. Seriously, what you’re about to read is one heckuva spoiler: Buffy is getting an abortion.

Buffy has been a comic version for "Two Years". Most TV fans have not bothered with the comic book.

Nice thing about comics, writers don’t have those pesky actresses spouting dirty conservative opinions all over the place.

Disgusting! Then again, when one immerses oneself in the occult, what does one expect??

Buffy-gets-an-abortion ping.

I told my mom several years ago that, like homosexuality, there would be a push to remove any stigma attached to abortion. Last year, we saw the MTV special, now this. Just sick.

“I don’t think Buffy should have a baby. I don’t think Buffy can take care of a baby. I agree with Buffy. It’s a very difficult decision for her, but she made a decision that so many people make and it’s such a hot button issue with Planned Parenthood under constant threat and attack right now. A woman’s right to choose is under attack as much as it’s ever been,”

I didn’t even know the comic existed until today. Then again, Whedon already explained which side he’s on with this paragraph..

Making her little sacrifice to Molech, I see.

Titular heroine?

I have to say I'm not surprised by this... Although Wheedon's characters tend to be more Libertarian in action, that tends to indicate a pro-abortion mindset, he's also been quoted as being something of a hard core feminist, and of course, abortion is a sacrament to hard core feminists - through I've often wondered how they feel about China's rampant abortion industry to eliminate little girls given China's "one child" policy?

Yeah, SMG has nice titulars. ;)

Titular = in the title.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was the show. Sarah Michelle Gellar played the titular heroine.
