According to the article, the medical students are learning how to perform the procedures on papayas, because if you’re going to perform a back-alley abortion in some Handmaid’s Tale future America, you totally want the medical provider to have practiced on something as lifelike as a tropical fruit:
It gives me hope that so many young medical students spoke freely about breaking the law should abortion be banned in U.S. pic.twitter.com/EJS7kK9PEj
