A Rightwing Utopia: Pro-Life Nation

Search warrants for vaginas, women chained to beds in intensive care units for the crime of abortion, laws that protect the fetus even when the life of the woman is at risk, women imprisoned for 30 to 50 years for the crime of abortion, the complete criminalization of abortion -- it sounds like the Handmaiden's Tale.

But it's reality in El Salvador today, a utopian nation in the eyes of South Dakota lawmakers and rightwingers everywhere.

If lawmakers succeed in defining abortion as murder, El Salvador is the logical outcome.

This Sunday's New York Times Magazine will have the story: Pro-Life Nation. You can hear an interview with the author at the link below. Try not to listen to it late at night, or you'll be rewarded with bone chilling freakin' nightmares.

Our crazed womb policing lawmakers need to be deluged with copies of this story. Better yet, every woman in America should hear about it, maybe then some of the mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and girlfriends of the womb police will finally start kicking some womb police ass. Talk about sleeping with the enemy!

This Sunday's New York Times Magazine cover story will be a profile of a nation 8 years into the complete and total criminalization of abortion. No rape clause, no life of the mother clause. Nothing.
Air America's Rachel Maddow (if you don't listen to her you don't know what you're missing) interviews one of my favorite journalists Jack Hitt on his cover story (click orange buttons to listen or download).

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.

The title of this post? The folks who check vaginas for evidence of an abortion procedure. It's real.

But it can't happen here. The world is not a crazed place. And the Holocaust is a figment of your fanatical leftwing imagination.
