Meaning of "Never get involved in a land war in Asia" in The Princess Bride?
We might also imagine that in Morgenstern wrote something quite different in the original Florinese, and that Goldman whimsically replaced it with something that a 20th-century American would recognize. Translators do this sort of thing all the time.

Has there been a movie or a TV show where an abortion was portrayed without negative connotations?
I don't care to post an answer, but in the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, one of the main characters (Stacy Hamilton, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh) gets an abortion. I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but I think all your desiderata are satisfied.

This nails all of the op's desiderata. It is portrayed as a difficult and serious choice, but there is no hint that Paula or her husband have made a mistake, that think they have made a mistake, or that they regret the decision.
