It was only a matter of time.
Once the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade and allowed states to decide for themselves whether or not to keep abortion legal, Law & Order was sure to take on this controversial ruling.
Law & Order Season 22 Episode 2 did just that, using the case of a fictional Texas governor's daughter's murder to examine the effects of anti-abortion laws on women's lives.
In true Law & Order fashion, the crime started as an apparent random mugging gone wrong, and the truth didn't come out until after the cops had taken the investigation down several wrong paths.
This almost always works well; viewers expect, enjoy, and search for the twist that will change the story's fabric. Plus, the way these investigations unfold mirrors real police work. Detectives don't always know what they're looking at when they catch a case, after all!
