Since ABC's Scandal's winter finale in November ended with lead Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) heartlessly killing her unborn baby to the tune of the Christmas hymn "Silent Night," the abortion has not been mentioned on the show.

Noah Gushes: ‘Cute’ Clinton ‘Crushes’ ‘Douchebag' Trump’s ‘Sexism’
2012’s “War on Women” line of attack by the Democrats and the media appears to be back in full-swing, even before the party has elected its nominee.
