Margaret Atwood delivered a searing indictment of Republicans working to ban abortion at the Santa Fe Literary Festival on Saturday.
“As far as I’m concerned, this is payback for MeToo,” she said, adding that banning abortion would create an environment in which “you get to accuse people of having abortions” as a form of blackmail. Anyone can approach a woman of child-bearing age and say: “You had one, and then where’s my $10,000?”, Atwood added.
