A show set in 1843 that displays a secretive botched abortion only seems to comment on the state of affairs we are in now. Today, as the government increases its control on women's rights are we to be concerned that people will again start dying from secret abortions done in basements by a threatening doctor. This episode is splendidly horrifying depicting how powerful men have all the control no matter what the circumstances. Mary Whitney terrified of losing her job took drastic measures that caused her to lose her life. Have we stopped progression and turned back time?
