Margaret Atwood delivered a searing indictment of Republicans working to ban abortion at the Santa Fe Literary Festival on Saturday.

The two-time Booker Prize winner and author of The Handmaid’s Tale was given a standing ovation by attendees when she took the stage for a conversation moderated by literary editor and long-time friend, Amy Grace Loyd.

Taking aim at conservative justices and lawmakers who describe themselves as Constitutional originalists to defend overturning such legislation, Atwood said: “If you take the original Constitution [as it is and apply it], a lot of people are going to lose their rights, including all women.”.

On the first full day of the festival, Atwood spoke to a full room of over 900 people.
