Things you can and cannot do on TV

[laughingacademy]

I noticed something while watching Children of Earth. Apparently on Torchwood, the gritty, “adult” adjunct to the Whoniverse, we can show:

• Bombings
  
• Multiple deaths by gunshot
  
• A skinless man screaming
  
• Projectile vomiting aliens
  
• The exploitation, torture and deaths of children

but we cannot use the word “abortion.”

Oi! Not all American TV sucks. (Just, well, a lot of it.)
