The Handmaid’s Tale's Madeline Brewer discusses her "traumatizing" abortion-themed episode

The Hollywood Reporter

“There are people outside of crisis centers with bullhorns and they are yelling and approaching women physically, getting in their space, and it’s scary," the actress says of this week's episode. "It’s traumatizing. What we’ve shown is a little more mild, but does really capture how women are manipulated and taken advantage of completely when they’re in a vulnerable situation, when they’re already scared. They’re making one of the most difficult decisions that they will probably ever make, and so I’m glad that we show a version of it.”
