Erica Hallerstein's excellent story called "The Rise of the DIY Abortion in Texas" was in The Atlantic last week. It's an important and well written story - of what the future looks like for women in states where they have no rights when it comes to their own reproduction.

I thought we'd moved past all this, didn't you?
This is great work by Erica Hellerstein. Read it. Pass it on. Thank her on twitter at @E_Hellerstein, and listen to the podcast of her interview with Arnie and I on WNHN.

Thanks for posting this piece Susan and Brian L. above is 100% correct. We are living - it appears, the worst nightmare of The Handmaids Tale - a nightmare because it is materializing. My relatives lived and died utilizing coat hangers to prevent yet another mouth to feed. With over 7++ billion on our planet, resources and jobs are all scarce. What are people thinking? They're not.
