• On the Starz drama HightownThis week, an actor went to Planned Parenthood for a prenatal test. The Planned Parenthood worker first suggested a full prenatal exam after it became clear that she was pregnant. In the real world we all know Planned Parenthood focuses on abortion. It doesn’t provide prenatal care.
Other Odds & Ends
• HBO’s Curb Your EnthusiasmLarry (David?) was trying to find out if Jeff, a dental hygienist, had asked him for money for an abortion. Larry overheard the hygienist say she hadn’t taken any time off in years and the two assume she didn’t get it, “How do you get an abortion and then clean someone’s teeth in the same day?” “Not unless you’re a sociopath.”
• On NBC’s New Amsterdam, when the topic of quotas came up, social justice warrior Max (Ryan Eggold) interjected, “You know, the NYPD tried a quota system and, uh, it led to the mass incarceration of Black and brown people and nearly tore this city apart.”
• The ladies of the fictional ‘90s R&B group “Nasty Bitches” discussed their name on ABC’s Queens. One said their group name is still relevant today: “I mean, Hillary — nasty. AOC — A little bitch. Kamala — Pick your choice. Our name makes a statement. It’s iconic.”
