Update: Fox rules out 'Family Guy' abortion episode

Fox has decided not to broadcast a "Family Guy" episode next season that deals with abortion.

The episode, which is titled "Partial Terms of Endearment," was produced by sister company 20th TV.

Fox released this statement moments ago:

"Fox will not air the 'Partial Terms of Endearment' episode of 'Family Guy,' but we fully support the producers' right to make the episode and distribute it in whatever way they want."

The episode came to light when producers talked about the plans on the show's Comic-Con panel, reported this weekend on Live Feed.
