Morality clauses were added to studio contracts that made actresses get abortions and stay unmarried, in order to “prevent stars from destroying their value through scandal.” Judy Garland, Lana Turner, and Jeanette McDonald were all sent to hospitals for abortions under the guise of things like appendectomies and ear infections.
