The conceit of Netflix’s new reality show, Love is Blind, is pretty straightforward. Contestants vie for each other’s affections in rows of separate rooms; they can hear each other’s voices, but they can’t see each other until they decide to get engaged.

In a show this absurd, you wouldn’t expect to see participants wrestle with any serious issues. But Love is Blind addresses a truth that many shows are afraid to touch: having an abortion is a terribly difficult decision for a woman to make.
