This chapter covers innovative television comedy films about reproductive rights.

In Hulu’s Plan B (2021), South Dakota teens take a road trip, desperate for access to the morning-after pill. These films are uniquely suited to television, as they speak to a niche audience and tackle taboo subject matter. The films’ compelling and culturally diverse heroines challenge sexual double standards and assert reproductive autonomy, providing enduring role models for the post-Roe era.
