What sitcoms besides Maude and Roseanne have tackled abortion?

I grew up watching the Golden Girls, and I loved how it wasnt afraid to handle many serious topics. Newer sitcoms are pretty tame. Are there any more that have addressed this?

  1. The secret life of the american teenager is about teen pregnancy, and i believe at the beginning of the series, she, the main character, was going to get an abortion but decided to keep the baby. Also, in 90210, the character Adrianna gets pregnant but decides to give the baby up for adoption, but before she considered abortion.
  2. The sitcom The Facts of Life had an episode about abortion ("The Source"). Natalie wrote an article about a student's abortion and the school administrator demanded to know who the girl was. The story was made up, but then a student confessed to Natalie that the story was exactly what she had gone through. The sitcom Buffalo Bill had an episode about abortion too "Jo Jo's Problem" Other shows (though they are dramas, not sitcoms) with the topic of abortion are Friday Night Lights, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Law and Order SVU.
