Cottle totally needs to be. I imagine Cottle bucks the system. I don't imagine the executive order prevented abortions that were medically necessary to save the mother; I bet Cottle fakes the paperwork.
I like to think that the order got reversed too if only because then it was only ever in effect very briefly and it explains why we never saw any fallout from it.
But it does uncomfortably smack of "Yup, go us! Now we never have to go near that topic again!"
For me what hurts a lot is when people I respect think the show has gone downhill for the SAME REASONS that I love it.
YES! YES, EXACTLY THIS! Cus, I handle it so much better if they just really hate the few parts I don't think are great. Or if the whole thing just isn't their style. But when they start pointing to all the things I think they changed about the show that were genius as the glaring mistakes the writers made I'm like, NOOOOOO! And commence wailing. :(
