In Sunday night’s episode of HBO’s Girls, “Full Disclosure,” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/54968-s06e06-full-disclosure/?do=getLastComment) Lena Dunham's character Hannah is still informing her close friends and family about her pregnancy. Her decision to keep the baby comes as shocking “news” to those she tells given that Hannah is, much like Dunham herself, strongly liberal and extremely pro-abortion (so much so that Dunham stated publicly that she wishes she had had an abortion.)

But her friends and family come around to the news when they realize she's serious. One friend, Marnie (Allison Williams) has a lot of questions, some of which Hannah is not quite ready to answer.
