"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[contextly_sidebar id=\"qee8J4J9SS07LJnoPTQF5EOAaQyKIcuY\"]After 20 seasons, \u003cem>The Bachelor/Bachelorette\u003c/em> franchise is a well-oiled machine. Each season comes with a few guarantees: no person of color will make it to the final four; the promos for future episodes will be unfairly misleading; and there will be a villain.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the current season of \u003cem>The \u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bachelorette\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, that person was Chad Johnson, a 28-year-old luxury real estate agent from Tulsa. Jacked on protein powder and the literal piles of meat made available during cocktail parties, Chad was incapable of controlling his temper in front of the cameras. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On their very first \"date,\" he called JoJo Fletcher, the woman he was supposed to be impressing, \"naggy.\" Then, when Evan Bass, a wispy erectile dysfunction specialist, decided to roast Chad during a competition, Chad responded by grabbing Evan’s shirt and pulling it so hard that it ripped. \u003c/span>After that, he punched a door. But Evan wasn't the only one he had beef with: \"I'm going to cut everyone here's legs off and arms off and there's going to be torsos and I'm going to throw them in the pool and I'm going to f*ck up this entire damn thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eventually, ABC brought security into the house, a guy with a mere fraction of Johnson’s muscle mass. Whenever JoJo or anyone else confronted Chad for his troubling behavior, Johnson would use some bizarre circular logic to reason that he only made violent threats because the guys just wouldn’t stop picking on him and, well, what else is he supposed to do besides threaten them with physical violence?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And after all that, JoJo \u003cem>still\u003c/em> kept him around for another episode. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“He was probably a dream character for the producers,” says Dr. Melissa Camacho, an associate professor of mass media at San Francisco State University. But the behavior of people like Chad doesn’t worry her as much as the audience’s tolerance level. “To me, the larger question is why the audience would find this acceptable.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chad is just one bully in a long line of reality show bullies. They’re the characters that the audience loves to hate, even if they’re physically and verbally abusive. This apparent inability to see the abuse as anything more than entertainment deeply concerns Camacho. “Are we suggesting that these types of violent episodes on a reality show are things that we’re not supposed to take seriously as audiences because it’s just a reality show? At what point do we say that this is violence?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was certainly violence when \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5cVlW5Q6J8\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stephen Williams slapped Irene McGee on \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Real World: Seattle\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 1998. When McGee decided to leave the show early, she called Stephen a homosexual on her way out. Stephen, who at the time was outwardly homophobic and deeply closeted, freaked out, pulled open the door of her car, and smacked her in the face. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Camacho points out that MTV has a no-violence policy on its shows and removes contestants who cross that line. In this case, viewers actually got to see producers take action on camera. Still, they gave the roommates the option of letting Stephen stay in the house, which they did — as long as he took anger management classes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">MTV used to be quick to act, but these days, it seems like the network picks and chooses which stars it removes from its most popular shows. On the \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jersey Shore\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8eYbyriti8\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sammi and J-Woww traded blows\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in season two but both stayed cast members for four more seasons. And on \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teen Mom\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Amber Portwood faced domestic violence charges for \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZqSgkQLiGo\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">attacking her fiance\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (in front of their child) only after the footage aired. She eventually went to prison (for unrelated charges). As of 2016, she’s still on the show. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Camacho, one of her most memorable reality show moments came from the second season of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Top Chef\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

Each season comes with a few guarantees: no person of color will make it to the final four; the promos for future episodes will be unfairly misleading; and there will be a villain.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the current season of \u003cem>The \u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bachelorette\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, that person was Chad Johnson, a 28-year-old luxury real estate agent from Tulsa. Jacked on protein powder and the literal piles of meat made available during cocktail parties, Chad was incapable of controlling his temper in front of the cameras. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On their very first \"date,\" he called JoJo Fletcher, the woman he was supposed to be impressing, \"naggy.\" Then, when Evan Bass, a wispy erectile dysfunction specialist, decided to roast Chad during a competition, Chad responded by grabbing Evan’s shirt and pulling it so hard that it ripped. \u003c/span>After that, he punched a door. But Evan wasn't the only one he had beef with: \"I'm going to cut everyone here's legs off and arms off and there's going to be torsos and I'm going to throw them in the pool and I'm going to f*ck up this entire damn thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eventually, ABC brought security into the house, a guy with a mere fraction of Johnson’s muscle mass. Whenever JoJo or anyone else confronted Chad for his troubling behavior, Johnson would use some bizarre circular logic to reason that he only made violent threats because the guys just wouldn’t stop picking on him and, well, what else is he supposed to do besides threaten them with physical violence?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And after all that, JoJo \u003cem>still\u003c/em> kept him around for another episode. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the behavior of people like Chad doesn’t worry her as much as the audience’s tolerance level. “To me, the larger question is why the audience would find this acceptable.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chad is just one bully in a long line of reality show bullies. They’re the characters that the audience loves to hate, even if they’re physically and verbally abusive. This apparent inability to see the abuse as anything more than entertainment deeply concerns Camacho. “Are we suggesting that these types of violent episodes on a reality show are things that we’re not supposed to take seriously as audiences because it’s just a reality show? At what point do we say that this is violence?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was certainly violence when \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5cVlW5Q6J8\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stephen Williams slapped Irene McGee on \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Real World: Seattle\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 1998. When McGee decided to leave the show early, she called Stephen a homosexual on her way out. Stephen, who at the time was outwardly homophobic and deeply closeted, freaked out, pulled open the door of her car, and smacked her in the face. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Camacho points out that MTV has a no-violence policy on its shows and removes contestants who cross that line. In this case, viewers actually got to see producers take action on camera. Still, they gave the roommates the option of letting Stephen stay in the house, which they did — as long as he took anger management classes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">MTV used to be quick to act, but these days, it seems like the network picks and chooses which stars it removes from its most popular shows. On the \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jersey Shore\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8eYbyriti8\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sammi and J-Woww traded blows\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in season two but both stayed cast members for four more seasons. And on \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teen Mom\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Amber Portwood faced domestic violence charges for \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZqSgkQLiGo\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">attacking her fiance\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (in front of their child) only after the footage aired. She eventually went to prison (for unrelated charges). As of 2016, she’s still on the show. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Camacho, one of her most memorable reality show moments came from the second season of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Top Chef\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

"content": "\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">This morning, those of us who believe in a woman's right to choose have something to celebrate: the Supreme Court has \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/27/483686616/supreme-court-strikes-down-abortion-restrictions-in-texas\">struck down abortion restrictions in Texas\u003c/a>. But victory has become an unfamiliar sensation, as of late. At the end of March, Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed one of \u003ca href=\"https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2016/bills/house/1337#digest-heading\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">the most restrictive abortion laws in the country\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, a bill so extreme even some \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/03/25/471842196/indiana-governor-signs-new-abortion-restrictions-into-law\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">pro-life lawmakers opposed it\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. Around the same time, Donald Trump suggested (and then recanted) that women \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/31/us/politics/donald-trump-abortion.html?_r=0\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">who receive abortions should be subject “to some kind of punishment\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.” The last few years have seen the curtailing of abortion rights across the US, from Tennessee to Texas, North Dakota, and most recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/04/23/this-is-our-proper-function-oklahoma-advances-measure-to-revoke-licenses-of-doctors-that-perform-abortions/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Oklahoma\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">I’ve watched these explosive conversations and laws unfold across the country with horror, as women’s bodies are used and abused by the political process. Missing from many of these political conversations are women’s voices and missing from the media landscape, from television to film, are representations of women who choose to have abortions, whatever their reasons may be. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">When TV shows attempt to stay neutral on the issue of abortion, in order to avoid offending an imagined conservative audience, they in fact take an anti-choice stance. Plot lines in which abortion is not considered as a reasonable option reinforce the spectacle and stigma around the procedure. That's why it's so important when shows like \u003ci>Scandal\u003c/i> offer diverse representations of reproductive choices, helping to normalize the scope of possibilities available to women.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Abortion’s absence in entertainment television is nothing new. \u003cem>Broadly\u003c/em>'s Briana Fasone \u003ca href=\"https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/far-from-reality-tv-the-changing-story-of-abortion-on-television\">writes\u003c/a> that, \u003cspan class=\"s2\">“until the 1960s, abortion, which was illegal in 44 states in nearly all situations that didn’t threaten the life of the mother, was absent as a plot line in television\u003c/span>\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s3\">.” \u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Fasone \u003cspan class=\"s2\">details this early history of abortion on \u003c/span>TV, which included news reports, a controversial episode of \u003ci>The Defenders\u003c/i>, and a Walter Cronkite special. Moreover, pregnancy itself has often been invisible on network television. For decades, women’s pregnant bodies have been largely hidden behind drapey clothes (see: \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/more-than-60-years-ago-a-pregnant-lucille-ball-cou-100629\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Lucille Ball\u003c/span>\u003c/a>), tight camera framing, and even the occasional giant popcorn bowl.

Here, \u003ci>Scandal\u003c/i> made history in its mid-season winter finale, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” showcasing its central character choosing, without fanfare, to have an abortion.

Then, in 1972, there was the Bea Arthur sitcom \u003ci>Maude\u003c/i>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/06/16991917_849842870001_img-100603-maude-rue-still-182846995684.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-28023\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/06/16991917_849842870001_img-100603-maude-rue-still-182846995684.jpg\" alt=\"maude abortion\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/06/16991917_849842870001_img-100603-maude-rue-still-182846995684.jpg 480w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/06/16991917_849842870001_img-100603-maude-rue-still-182846995684-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\u003c/a>In 1972 -- in line with the shifting tide signaled by the Roe v.

Although she was \u003ca href=\"http://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/cristina-yang-grey-s-anatomy-abortion\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">not the first character to have an abortion on TV\u003c/span>\u003c/a> (shout out to soap operas!), she was the first character to do so in primetime television. Over 30 years later, Maude remains mostly alone in the history of primetime abortions, Dr. Christina Yang (Sandra Oh) on \u003ci>Grey’s Anatomy\u003c/i> and Becky (Madison Burges) on \u003ci>Friday Night Lights \u003c/i>are two exceptions. (Within this select group, most women on TV who have abortions are, according to KQED's own Lisa Aliferis, “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2015/12/17/fictionalized-abortion-on-tv-no-mirror-for-real-life/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">younger, whiter, wealthier and less likely to be raising children than the average American woman who has an abortion.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>”)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Often when TV does depict abortion, it's a big and controversial deal. For instance, when Becky has an abortion on \u003ci>Friday Night Lights\u003c/i>, the whole town becomes hysterical. Becky’s decision even results in Tami Taylor (Connie Britton) being forced by the town to step down from her job as school principal.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFxvFF42LEM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">While accidental pregnancies are a regular plot twist on network TV, it’s far more common for characters to go ahead and have the baby. This trope wraps sex into the productivity of the nuclear family (television’s bread and butter). You might recognize this plot line from \u003ci>Friends\u003c/i> (Ross and Rachel have Emma) or, more recently,\u003ci> The Mindy Project\u003c/i>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Just last year, Mindy Kaling said that her sitcom \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2014/09/04/abortion_on_the_mindy_project_mindy_kaling_says_it_won_t_happen.html\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">wouldn’t depict abortion because it is too serious\u003c/span>\u003c/a> (see \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2014/06/13/obvious-child-why-america-is-finally-ready-for-the-first-pro-choice-rom-com/\">\u003ci>Obvious Child\u003c/i>\u003c/a> for a great counter-argument about how to talk about abortion with humor and warmth). Thus, when Mindy got pregnant during the sitcom’s third season, she kept the baby, like many female characters before her. The show did not give her space to consider any other decision.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2GN3wdfqbA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Then in November 2015, Olivia Pope had an abortion in a primetime show watched by millions of dedicated fans. Of Olivia’s abortion, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/11/scandal-olivia-pope-abortion/417048/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Lenika Cruz wrote in \u003ci>The Atlantic\u003c/i>,\u003c/span>\u003c/a> “the camera didn’t ogle, but it didn’t shy away from Olivia’s wide-eyed gaze either. The message? This is normal. This is acceptable. This is Olivia’s choice, and hers alone.” The audacity, she concludes, wasn’t the abortion itself, but that it wasn’t made into a spectacle.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Olivia’s decision to resist patriarchal control over her body also has a broader meaning, given that her boyfriend is the President of the United States: in making her decision without him, she also denies the government any role or say in what she does with her body. Her choice, quite literally, argues that government has no place interfering in women’s bodies and our right to choose our own destiny, for ourselves and any potential children. If anything, taking this a step further, it also argues that government ought to protect this right and stop prohibiting safe access to care, something recent abortion laws have certainly not done. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">In one portion, the new Indiana law reads, “i\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s4\">nformation submitted with respect to the disposition of a miscarried or aborted fetus that may be used to identify the parent or parents of a miscarried fetus or a \u003ci>pregnant\u003c/i> who had an abortion.\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">” There are several other typos in the bill, so this phrasing may be an accident. Even so, the implications are chilling: that a pregnant woman is no longer an autonomous being -- no longer a woman, even -- but simply a vessel for childbirth. It is a typo that feels too closely in line with the times, in which abortion and even miscarriages are stigmatized and criminalized. Donald Trump’s assertion that a woman who gets an abortion ought to be punished sounds outlandish. But, it is not so far afield from what we’ve already seen happen across the United States. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The erasure of abortion on primetime TV, and television’s tendency to treat it as a spectacle when it does happen, is part and parcel of this violence towards women, which denies us both the choice and ability to decide what we do with our own bodies. This erasure reaffirms the idea that abortions are not normal, modeling once again that they are outside the scope of polite or appropriate TV content.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">By depriving imaginary women the opportunity to make active decisions about their own bodies, so too does television limit the ways in which we imagine ourselves and the choices available to us.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">This morning, those of us who believe in a woman's right to choose have something to celebrate: the Supreme Court has \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/27/483686616/supreme-court-strikes-down-abortion-restrictions-in-texas\">struck down abortion restrictions in Texas\u003c/a>. But victory has become an unfamiliar sensation, as of late. At the end of March, Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed one of \u003ca href=\"https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2016/bills/house/1337#digest-heading\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">the most restrictive abortion laws in the country\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, a bill so extreme even some \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/03/25/471842196/indiana-governor-signs-new-abortion-restrictions-into-law\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">pro-life lawmakers opposed it\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. Around the same time, Donald Trump suggested (and then recanted) that women \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/31/us/politics/donald-trump-abortion.html?_r=0\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">who receive abortions should be subject “to some kind of punishment\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.” The last few years have seen the curtailing of abortion rights across the US, from Tennessee to Texas, North Dakota, and most recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/04/23/this-is-our-proper-function-oklahoma-advances-measure-to-revoke-licenses-of-doctors-that-perform-abortions/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Oklahoma\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">I’ve watched these explosive conversations and laws unfold across the country with horror, as women’s bodies are used and abused by the political process. Missing from many of these political conversations are women’s voices and missing from the media landscape, from television to film, are representations of women who choose to have abortions, whatever their reasons may be. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">When TV shows attempt to stay neutral on the issue of abortion, in order to avoid offending an imagined conservative audience, they in fact take an anti-choice stance. Plot lines in which abortion is not considered as a reasonable option reinforce the spectacle and stigma around the procedure. That's why it's so important when shows like \u003ci>Scandal\u003c/i> offer diverse representations of reproductive choices, helping to normalize the scope of possibilities available to women.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Abortion’s absence in entertainment television is nothing new. \u003cem>Broadly\u003c/em>'s Briana Fasone \u003ca href=\"https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/far-from-reality-tv-the-changing-story-of-abortion-on-television\">writes\u003c/a> that, \u003cspan class=\"s2\">“until the 1960s, abortion, which was illegal in 44 states in nearly all situations that didn’t threaten the life of the mother, was absent as a plot line in television\u003c/span>\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s3\">.” \u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Fasone \u003cspan class=\"s2\">details this early history of abortion on \u003c/span>TV, which included news reports, a controversial episode of \u003ci>The Defenders\u003c/i>, and a Walter Cronkite special. Moreover, pregnancy itself has often been invisible on network television. For decades, women’s pregnant bodies have been largely hidden behind drapey clothes (see: \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/more-than-60-years-ago-a-pregnant-lucille-ball-cou-100629\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Lucille Ball\u003c/span>\u003c/a>), tight camera framing, and even the occasional giant popcorn bowl. (I’m looking at you, \u003ci>Scandal\u003c/i>.) \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Even more obscure are storylines that engage and carry through with abortion in primetime network programming -- the most expensive and conservative landscape in television -- especially when the procedure involves a main character.

I immediately put together \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/07/22/rupauls-drag-race-all-stars-2-announced-here-are-the-queens-that-need-to-be-cast/\">a list of the queens that needed to be involved\u003c/a> and then waited. And waited. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/05/23/bob-the-drag-queen-on-winning-drag-race-rising-above-haters-and-putting-purse-first/\">Interviewed Season 8 winner, Bob the Drag Queen\u003c/a>. And waited some more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11 long months later, we're finally getting our first glimpse of the cast! Six of the 10 queens I requested last July are accounted for, so there's a 31% chance RuPaul read my piece and thought \u003cem>Cogent points!\u003c/em> (He must have been skimming though cause he missed the whole this-will-be-nothing-without-Willam bit.) Half of the \u003cem>All Stars 2\u003c/em> girls are from Season 5, which is odd, but (almost) all of them are great so (almost) no complaints here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Word on the street (i.e. gay Reddit) is that there will be no teams this time around, which was a major criticism of the first \u003cem>All Stars\u003c/em>. Also unlike the last time around, there aren't any obvious filler queens (*cough*Mimi Imfurst*cough*). The competition, which starts airing on August 25, 2016, is sure to bring all the death drops, filthy reads, fireworks and everything else we've come to expect. But who is poised to snatch the crown and who doesn't have a shot in hell?

I immediately put together \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/07/22/rupauls-drag-race-all-stars-2-announced-here-are-the-queens-that-need-to-be-cast/\">a list of the queens that needed to be involved\u003c/a> and then waited.

And waited some more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11 long months later, we're finally getting our first glimpse of the cast! Six of the 10 queens I requested last July are accounted for, so there's a 31% chance RuPaul read my piece and thought \u003cem>Cogent points!\u003c/em> (He must have been skimming though cause he missed the whole this-will-be-nothing-without-Willam bit.) Half of the \u003cem>All Stars 2\u003c/em> girls are from Season 5, which is odd, but (almost) all of them are great so (almost) no complaints here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Word on the street (i.e. gay Reddit) is that there will be no teams this time around, which was a major criticism of the first \u003cem>All Stars\u003c/em>. Also unlike the last time around, there aren't any obvious filler queens (*cough*Mimi Imfurst*cough*). The competition, which starts airing on August 25, 2016, is sure to bring all the death drops, filthy reads, fireworks and everything else we've come to expect. But who is poised to snatch the crown and who doesn't have a shot in hell?

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
