I don’t think it was by his NBC bosses...
...I think it might have been from his wife and friends, social pressure.
Mavis Leno could be PART of the problem.

From WND.com:

How the Lenos' 'help' actually harms women
Exclusive: Jill Stanek targets Jay and Mavis over fundraiser for feminist group
In 2005, Jay Leno’s wife, Mavis, told the Detroit Free Press:
"Our current conservative, religious government is obsessed with women on life support and with fetuses because they are imaginary people..."
...So Leno can spare me her words of concern for the plight of oppressed women in Afghanistan,
which is why she says she is hosting a Hollywood fundraiser for the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF)
on April 29 with her soon-to-be NBC prime-time player husband, Jay.
One right they want is for Afghan women to be free to abort. Crazy.
Mavia [sp] Leno is a long-time board member of FMF, which was founded and is headed
by former National Organization for Women President Eleanor Smeal. FMF took over Ms. Magazine in 2001.
Of course, FMF supports abortion on demand, even issuing a congratulatory e-mail when infamous late-term abortionist
George Tiller was acquitted of criminal charges last month and encouraging followers to
"Send Dr. Tiller a message of support for all his work for women!"
FMF sends "community organizers" throughout the country to train abortion mill deathscorts. It supports taxpayer-funded abortion.
FMF promoted access for both men and women to purchase the morning-after pill without a prescription
and is now pushing for minor boys and girls to have the same access. It opposes parental involvement laws before abortion for minors...

Mavis Leno could be PART of the problem...
Except that she is not NEW...

From marriage.about.com:

Jay and Mavis were married in a small wedding at a friends' home on November 30, 1980...

That is, Jay was already married to Mavis for a long time
when he interviewed conservatives Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin - much more professionally.

Mavis Leno is sick. Maybe she couldn’t have children and just took the side of, if I can’t have them, I’ll fight against them. That is just sick, thinking that abortion helps women. There is not one woman abortion has helped.

Half the people aborted are girls. Women were respected as mothers, pregnant women have been revered for centuries, nay, millennia. Now, to some, including Mavis, women are thought of as hos and bitches, repositories for semen, with no responsibility. A new life beginning inside you? Don’t consider it a human; use it and abuse it like slaveowners did slaves. Thanks, Mavis.
