Let's Do It

In the rare occasions where a woman did get pregnant at the colonial, Shafer would order her isolated from the community until she gave birth. The child was taken from her immediately and put with nurses who would care for and raise the child while the woman went back to work. As you might expect, people born and forced to live in such circumstances did not always turn out to be the apex of mental health. It also turns out that it's unfortunately pretty easy to make people who've already been manipulated to accept the torture and repeated assault of their loved ones. And that brings us back to Augusto Pinochet.
