This is Handmaid’s Tale stuff. We are the dystopia now.

I remember when even anti-abortion politicians were careful to say they would never criminalize the pregnant women. Now Nebraska is imprisoning a mother who helped her teenage daughter with an abortion pill.

Sorry I can’t cite the social post where I first read this, but someone observed that heck yes conservatives will indict women who terminate pregnancies, because women tend to vote for Democrats, and conservatives like to disenfranchise Democratic voters by convicting them of felonies.
