Driving Blindly Off the Cliff

From Shakespeare's Sister, the absolutely chilling account of life in El Salvador, where all forms of abortion have been illegal for 8 years.

What you find is a nation in a near-Handmaid's Tale dystopia where a mother of three is imprisoned for 30 years, where a woman must wait until her ectopic pregnancy bursts in her fallopian tubes to get surgery, where the mother of a pregnant woman can be prosecuted for giving aid and comfort to her daughter before, during or after an illegal abortion.
This is where they're taking us, and we're not resisting - at least not hard enough.
