America's civil war on abortion: It sums up the divide tearing the US apart

 America's civil war on abortion: It's a picture that sums up the divide tearing the US apart - an abortion clinic next to a pro-life centre. With the Supreme Court ending the right to a termination, read this troubling dispatch from a divided heartland

  • Since Roe was overturned, a series of horrific events have played out in the U.S
  • In Louisiana, lawmakers debated murder charges for women who have abortions
  • In Wisconsin, an anti-abortion centre was fire-bombed with Molotov cocktails 
  • In Indiana, a doctor who performed an abortion was investigated by the state  
  • As mid-term elections approach, abortion has become the defining issue in US
  • This harrowing dispatch highlights just how divided America is over the issue 
  • On the night flight from Atlanta to Detroit, I meet a woman who embodies many of the complexities of America’s abortion debate.

    Sitting next to me on the two-hour journey north from the steamy bayous of Georgia to the industrial city on the Canadian border is Keysha, 24. Exhausted and burdened by bags and baby gear, she accepts my offer to help change her eight-week-old baby’s clothes during the flight.

    We balance her little boy on the tray table, me supporting his head and Keysha tenderly pulling his tiny arms through the sleeves of his onesie.

    And then, 36,000 feet above the dark Appalachian Mountains, Keysha makes an extraordinary and brave confession.
