Banned: Abortion in Nicaragua

My final piece as a research associate/intern at COHA was press released a few days ago. A link to it is below:

To Risk Not Saving a Life: Abortion Ban in Nicaragua and Its Societal Implications

Check it out and give me feedback. Criticism is always more than welcome.

It was a really interesting piece to write, as the abortion ban encompasses a lot of issues (religion, public health, gender roles, etc.) that Latin America is facing as it tries to balance its traditional values with a growing desire to modernize and adapt to technological advances. In this case, obviously, the traditional values won out, but this balancing act is anything but over.
