Must-flee TV! Report: NBC's working on a show 'inspired' by Wendy Davis

Wendy Davis’ political career has been so successful, NBC would be foolish not to capitalize on it, right?

NBC Developing Dramedy Inspired By Former Texas Senator Wendy Davis http://t.co/JTZAqnFoHn

Yeah, this‘ll end well.

@Deadline NBC is developing a TV show around a failed bid to keep abortion legal 5 1/2 months into pregnancy? Is this a joke?

@Deadline You gotta be SHITTING me?

Alas, no. Apparently, this is not a joke:

Written by Jennifer Cecil, the untitled project centers on a female Democratic senator who, after losing the Texas governor’s race, gets her world turned upside down. In the vein ofThe Good Wife, while she pieces her pride back together, she goes to work in the law firm of her best friend — a black male Republican — and discovers that with no political future to protect, she can unshackle her inner badass.

Well, not an intentional joke, at least …
