Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said women should be punished for having abortions if the procedure is illegal in the US. In El Salvador, women are punished for having abortions. Some Salvadoran women say the near-total ban on abortions ends up punishing those who haven’t even attempted to terminate their pregnancies. Paula Avila-Guillen — a lawyer…

    And if the ultra self-righteous arm of the Republican party has their way, you can add the US to the list.

      Yup, this article is amazing, the women need to behave or else the master race conservatives will spank them!

      I wish more people would pay attention to all the incremental changes happening at the state level. It is frightening. We need to get all GOTP out of office everywhere, not just at the federal level.

    No prison time (yet) but nobody can tell me that this poor woman and her husband weren’t being punished

      it’s a damn shame. and i bet you anything that they don’t even care to read the effects it has on these mother’s or couples, because if they had they’d have to accept the fact that it is the who are the ones inflicting unnecessary pain, or they are aware and just don’t care anyway.

        At least in Texas, where I’ve watched the forced-birthers like Cruz, Abbot, Patrick and Paxton take over and wield power over women, I believe they’re fully aware of the pain their causing. They just don’t give a damn. Couples like the pair in this story are just so much collateral damage in the talibagger war against women having unapproved sex.

          unapproved sex?

          • Roctuna April 2nd, 2016 at 15:09

            Not the two in the story, but that’s how they view most women who want an abortion.

              Scott DesJarlais, republican “pro-life” had his wife abort twice and his mistress once. i say repukes are the ones having unapproved and creating nut cases.

              • Roctuna April 2nd, 2016 at 17:14

                No argument from me. DesJarlais is a multiple offender hypocrite.

    Cuba is so far ahead of us in healthcare.

    This, to me, is why even the most ardent liberal should support corporate conservative Democrat, HRC – should she win the nomination (especially in swing states). Unfortunately, I think she knows we libs are between a rock and a hard place & realizes she doesn’t have to inch very far left thanks to this enormously important issue that she is on the correct side of.
