Cuba: Abortions · Global Voices
Janine Mendes-Franco

Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez meets a young woman who has had four abortions in her twenty-three years: “I was rattled by her illusion of leaving all her problems—housing, love or immigration—in the operating room, and pointed out that they are no longer doing abortions in hospitals.  The reason is that the birth rate is falling and they want to try to increase it, even if it means forcing women to give birth.”
