I’m bothered by someone who is apparently pro-choice suggesting that this is what she SHOULD do. That’s how women get forced to have abortions against their wills.

But on a slightly lighter note: What if aborting the child would give Hades exactly what he wants? The child’s soul would become his, therefore entirely defeating the purpose of ending its life. Narratively speaking, this is the only way i could see them considering this possibility.

Anyway, I don’t want A&E to even consider going there. They have handled rape VERY poorly when they’ve brought the subject up, and at least 99% of the audience is anti-rape. They’ve also handled other slightly touchy subjects like LGBT representation very poorly, and given the strength of the Swan Queen vocal chords, they would not be offending that large a portion of the audience. Writing Belle having an abortion, or even THINKING about it, would not go well no matter what your stance.
