    punish sexually promiscuous women.

    So then where does all this whinging about IVF enter into it? How dare you get pregnant by… not… having… sex?

    I realize my problem here is that I’m attempting to apply logic where none actually exists. But come on.

      Not to mention: that’s punishing people who are specifically, deliberately TRYING to become parents. They’re probably among the LEAST likely to get abortions.

      There isn’t any logic. The cruelty is the point.
