PP: "Your body, your choice"

While there were a few other things that happened on this week's Private Practice episode, the only thing that mattered was the drama surrounding Naomi and Sam's 15-year-old daughter's announcement that she is pregnant. Here comes a summary of what happened following the news being let out of the bag.

Following Maya telling her parents, Naomi withdrew while Sam confronted her with questions. After a few minutes of consideration, and after admitting that she feels like she failed at protecting her daughter, Naomi storms into Addison's office with Maya and demands Addison give Maya an abortion even though Maya doesn't want one. Naomi doesn't even believe in abortions, which is a belief she has passed along to Maya throughout her life. So even when Maya reluctantly agrees to the abortion, she questions whether she will go to hell or whether everything her mother has ever told her about abortions is actually untrue. In the end, Maya decides not to have the abortion.

We'll have to see what happens from here, but I can only imagine that this will be a part of the show's storyline for much of the near future. Everyone on the show will have to learn to live with this predicament and it will be interesting to see how their friends are there for Sam and Naomi.

In other happenings: Charlotte and Cooper are still feuding, Violet lied to a stranger and let him believe her son was dead, Sam confronted Maya's boyfriend who had not yet found out Maya was pregnant and Violet invited Charlotte to move in with her while she is searching for a more permanent place.
