The 1960s the subject of abortion was a staple of television drama. While I was still young back them I can remember some story lines (especially medical shows) where the life of the mother to be was threaten because of the prgnancy and the doctors were helpless because abortion were illegal. Or, the woman would have a "back alley" abortion, and they would have to work miracles to save the woman.
There may not have been a "golden age" of abortion in the movies, but there was certainly a pro-abortion agenda in Hollywood and it was reflected on the small screen.
Well that’s before my time and not something I would have caught in reruns. Sounds like pretty bad soap opera garbage and not really representative of some mainstream filmaking agenda. If you were to compile a ratio of those episodes to to episodes with a joyous delivery room scene on some other show I’m guesing it would be pretty small.
