'A teenage rape victim in El Salvador has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for murder after having a stillbirth, the latest in a long line of failures of justice against pregnant women in the Central American country...

Hernandez, a high school student, gave birth into the toilet in April 2016 after falling ill with acute back and stomach pain.

Hernandez, who at the time was 18, was in her third trimester, but hadn’t realised that she was pregnant. She had been repeatedly raped by a gang member over several months as part of a forced sexual relationship.'

Disgusting. If you want to ban/limit abortion, fine, do it (if you can find a parliamentary majority for it). But just stop with these idiotic dog-whistle anti-women laws.

Aside of every other reaming issues here, treating this as a willful act meriting responsibility is Orwellian.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

El Salvador's abortion bans are evil and should not be accepted by the international community.

I know of some fairly close members of my family suffered a miscarriage, and I'm pretty sure many of our posters have relatives that went through this as well. I guess you know what I'm trying to say here.
