The Archers is a British radio soap opera with over five million listeners. It’s also the longest-running soap opera in the world, on radio or TV. Recently, they aired a storyline featuring a middle-aged couple who discovered that they were expecting a baby with Down syndrome. Rather than using this as an opportunity to promote the inclusion of people with Down syndrome, producers decided to trivialize both Down syndrome and abortion by posting a poll asking if the couple should abort the baby or not.
