Abortion in El Salvador. Is this our future?

Everyone should read this snippet from Daily Kos. Yup, he's so far left he's over the fence, but the law in El Salvador and the results of that law are real, and they give me chills.

You, your sibling or cousin or girlfriend or wife or daughter or mother might be the woman with an ectopic pregnancy* and waiting for the cells to die so a doctor can operate and keep her from bleeding to death internally.
