I'll admit I don't read the S8/9 "Buffy" comics but since they started I've had a general idea of what was occurring in that BtVS-verse. Truly some of the developments have been so cracktastic I had to steer clear for my own sanity and all I can say to this recent revelation is wtf?! O. o
Warning spoilers that may make you go hmm Apparently Buffy is pregnant from a drunken blackout at a party, isn't sure who the father is and is now contemplating not having the baby.
Leaving aside the possibility that Buffy's character may have been assaulted, I can't believe Joss somehow feels that touching a sensitive issue like abortion in this storyline is the logical step. Obviously the comic writers of the series have wandered far into the fanfician desert are suffering from delusions that this development makes any sense whatsoever in the BtVS-verse (any of them). I guess I really shouldn't be suprised when they thought Giant Dawn, Xander becoming the obssession of every woman in the series and Angel's Twilight phase were good ideas too. Sigh.
Joss valiantly tries to inject logic in the reasons for storyline and nope, still don't buy it.
