Some people say abortion should only be allowed in cases of rape, incest or where life of the mother is at stake. So if the woman had pleasurable sex in a loving relationship she should be punished by forcing her to give birth? What kind of puritanical sexual attitude is that? Will we be distributing scarlet A’s next?  

I believe America has moved from “The Handmaid’s Tale” to historical fiction from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1642.
