Abortion in Popular Culture: A Call to Action brings together
scholars who examine depictions of abortion in film, television,
literature, and social media. By examining texts ranging from
medical dramas of the 1960s and recent films such as Never Rarely
Sometimes Always and Unpregnant to dystopian novels and
social-media campaigns, the essays analyze a range of narrative
styles, rhetorical strategies, and cinematic techniques, all of
which shape cultural attitudes toward abortion. They also analyze
cultural shifts, including the willingness or reluctance of
networks and cable channels to acknowledge medication abortion and
the role that abortion plays in family planning. As a whole,
however, the essays argue that popular culture can play a
significant role in destigmatizing abortion by including a wider
range of narratives and doing so with nuance and empathy. With
reproductive rights under attack in the United States, each essay
is a call to action for writers, producers, directors, showrunners,
authors, and musicians to use their platforms to tell more positive
and accurate stories about abortion.
