Illegal abortions and snitching on your neighbors remind me about communist Romania (my country), though I was young at that time I heard enough stories about weird abortion attempts(like putting furniture on your belly) and there are amny stories about people reading their security files and finding out that someone they trusted was snitching on them.
- telesilla 5y agoOne of the most well-written films about abortion that highlights the ordeal is, not surprisingly given your comment, Romanian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_Months,_3_Weeks_and_2_Days https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_Months,_3_Weeks_and_2_Days

- simion314 5y agoI can't understand what exactly this crime stoppers do, do they call police on you if you make a crime? There were 2 things in the Texas abortion thing that reminds me of my country past 1 make abortion illegal and force people in doing risky procedures 2 a system where you can't trust anyone , you could get snitched on, even false accusations that could destroy your life. So the 2 things combined did the job, individually would not have worked, and Texas has a reputation that I will not be surprised of weird things happening there.
