District Attorney Arrests Female Patients, Doctors, and Nurses in the Dominican Republic to "Spark a Public Debate" on Family Planning

Sorry, but I really just don't know where to start with this one, so I'll let the story speak for itself.  From the Kansas City Star, Raids fuel abortion debate in Dominican Republic:

Two months pregnant and bleeding, Yanira Then says she went to a clinic in her low-income Santo Domingo neighborhood, where her doctor said she had suffered a miscarriage.

Then was still in her hospital gown that February morning when her doctor's office was stormed by police, prosecutors and television news cameras. Accused of having had an abortion, Then, a 27-year-old law student, was arrested along with two other patients, the nurses and her physician.

She faces 3 to 10 years in prison. The doctor faces 50.
