Of course they wouldn't do, I don't think Robin's honor would allow it, but it would feel strange if it's not at least mentioned. A pregnancy in this strange situation calls for all options to be examined XD I think it should be examined, but isn't it the woman's call for the abortion. You can't just so abort someone's baby!

I predict they'll lock Zelena up in that padded cell and have the AU finale and somehowZelena wasn't even pregnant at all using a roundabout magical solution to "abort" the baby. Unfortentely it still is to women's call to abort someone else's baby [the father's] without having to take their feelings into consideration first. Well the woman has to carry and give birth to it. While a woman does have to carry and give birth to the baby, the law sort of sees what it wants to see when it wants to see it. If the woman carries to term, it's both the woman's and man's child and responsibility, but if the woman chooses to kill the baby, it's only the woman's choice that matters. That's without getting into matters of when a fetus is considered a person. If someone other than the mother aborts the baby (ex. hits the mother, causing her to miscarry), then, in some cases the judge can rule that the fetus is a person and the assailant an be sued for manslaughter/murder, while if the fetus is aborted by the mother, the fetus is never legally considered a person unless past the legal time. In other words, if the baby's wanted, it can sometimes be considered manslaughter/murder, while if the baby's not wanted, it's just abortion.
