Desperate Housewives Question

I'm watching Desperate Housewives on TV tonight and I'm wondering. Why doesn't Gabrielle have an abortion? She didn't want to be pregnant. He husband doctored her birth control pills. She was fooling aroung with the teenage gardner. She doesn't know who the father is. She repeatedly states that she doesn't want to be pregnant yet no one says the A Word. No mention of an abortion what.so.ever. Have the scriptwriters been so cowed by fundagelicals that it is the word that never gets mentioned? I know the fundagelicals already hate the show. So why wouldn't Gabrielle have an abortion, or at the very least talk about it?

Oh never mind, she just fell down the stairs, she'll probably have a miscarriage.
