This item manages to be very graphic without graphic language. I winced twice while reading it and had to look away from the screen, actually. Question is, why?
I think because it brings together all the evil that is abortion into one piece. A statutory rape. A young girl alone. The “boyfriend” working to conceal it. A pregnancy ended in a gruesome fashion in a country where the “safe” and “friendly” kind are very much available…
I’ll grant not all abortions are this evocative. But making abortion into this easy, banal thing is a severe avoidance of the facts at hand, every time.
