But you have to question the logic of people who would look at a criminal activity, observe that it kills women, and declare that the activity should be legalized. First of all, in the U.S., the law never held a gun to any woman's head and forced her to have an abortion. Abortion was more of a choice when it was illegal and it was harder for family, boyfriends, and social workers to browbeat women into it.

Reporting fake rapes, feigning mental illness, and claiming to be having a miscarriage are encouraged among women.
