The “Handmaids Tale” author compares the events in the book to what happens in real life.

MORE FROM 'THE VIEW':

Margaret Atwood just lost her husband and she still has the courage to go on t. v. to talk about important questions that face each of us every day. She's an amazing woman and probably the most important writer of our times.

Ooooo child. Abby and Meghan were quiet as a mouse in this clip. Lol

[mollybode]

Atwood should have received a standing ovation for her comments.

Did anybody else catch Joy glance toward Meghan at 1:11 when Margaret brought up Roe v. Wade? She was probably expecting another petulant tantrum.

[zurzakne-etra]

I wonder what Meghan thought of the handmaid's tale, being anti abortion herself... I find it odd that she's a fan of the show...

[mskeysnote]

I can't believe they asked, "Where is it happening?"

[lindawilliams]

Texans are now, as of September 2021, being encouraged to report on women who don't declare pregnancy after 6 weeks of gestation. Margaret Atwood is a Canadian and world prognosticator and treasure. 🇨🇦

If a man can walk away from a pregnancy or child that is his with no repercussions or ties to the child that strike him financially then woman should be able to have abortions without repercussions, and no one can change my mind.

This woman astounds me she is incredible

[starsurvivor]

Saw her at the store on Pelee Island this year too shy to say hi!

[Tom-dgzp]

Meghan and Abbys silence speaks a thousand words

[joannasantiago]

I felt like this audience was not into this interview at all. It was a bit awkward. Even from the host. Just weird. I felt it was an interesting & informative interview.

[raphsherman]

They gave us rights just to slowly take them away!

[thestoneytimes]

2022 is looking like the prequel to this tale :/ we are literally about to loose roe v wade

[willwright]

A very wise woman. That is the thing we Progressives are fighting against. "EVERYONE" has a right to control their own bodies. And it is a woman's choice whether or not to reproduce life.

[israeltrevino]

She basically described racism in America.

[Nummymuffincocobutter]

Really weird NOT to hear Meghan say anything, especially about this topic...she was wise not to open her big trap like she has many times before ...

[Amir-snuk]

some countries that people especially women got their rights taken away: Iran, Afghanistan, ...
