[edit] Abortion

It says she had the first legal abortion on television, however Maude Findley had one in 1972, which would have put her before Erica Kane. --BrenDJ 00:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Maude's abortion was legal only in that state. Erica had the first televised abortion which was legal nationally. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 02:54, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Erica's abortion was the first on television after Roe v. Wade -- the first one when abortion was legal throughout the U.S. Mike H. is right -- abortion was legal in New York State (where Maude lived) at the time, although Maude's abortion was no less controversial. However, I must confess that I think AMC took a giant step backwards when it rewrote history to bring Erica's son on.The Invisible Man 22:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

The trivia section assumes that a woman's name changes automatically when she marries. That is incorrect. I'm not sure how to edit the section to reflect that and still keep the trivia. Then again, maybe that's a good reason to remove that section - trivia about a soap opera character that isn't even correct?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:EricaK AMC.jpg

Image:EricaK AMC.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
