Abortion, The Reality Show (A Dramatization)
…
At last! The solution to the abortion debate: A reality show. “Bump+” follows three women with unintended pregnancies, who will, apparently, be guided in their choice about whether or not to have an abortion or a child, by viewer comments. “The final cliffhanger is so unpredictable,” says the press release from Yellow Line Studios, a coyly Christian production company, “even the writers and producers don’t know how the series will end.” Maybe not even the actors depicting the “reality” contestants!
