Today, Nicaragua’s complete abortion ban is expected to be signed into law. Already, women are dying, leaving behind kids and families because of the ban.
Think that wouldn’t be the case in the United States if Roe v. Wade were overturned? Think again. When abortion is illegal, women don’t stop having abortions; they stop having safe abortions.
They also leave behind families and kids after they die from those unsafe abortions. For a powerful look into this tragedy pre-Roe v. Wade, everyone should track down and watch Motherless. Make sure you have tissues with you and then get out there and fight to save safe abortion for everyone who wants one.
