El Salvador has one of the world's strictest abortion laws, banning the procedure in all circumstances and imprisoning those who are accused of breaking the law. Sometimes sentencing those women for up to 30 years. Activists like Catalina Martínez Coral, with the Center for Reproductive Rights, say the law has led to widespread human rights violations against Salvadoran women and should serve as a cautionary tale for the United States,if Roe v. Wade is overturned. The Catholic Church and the growing number of evangelical churches have vast influence in the overwhelmingly Christian country, where some lawmakers cited Scripture last year as they voted to uphold the abortion ban.
