In an election year, Melissa Benoist is taking her activism to the screen and begging voters to, well, vote. According to the actress, the country should never “have an election that we’re not involved in ever, ever, ever again” — especially given the current status of women’s rights.
In her new series “Girls on the Bus,” which follows four female journalists on the campaign trail for a fictional presidential election, Benoist stars as Sadie McCarthy, an idealist who writes for a paper similar to the New York Times. But, in Episode 8, now streaming on Max, she wants to get an abortion.
