Of course it's been done by other people and in other cultures, but women who will kill their unborn children for a whim will not shrink from subjecting their born children to threats of harm.
But of course this woman knows that in our culture the truck won't run over her and her children. What's ironic is that she is an ally of the people who would blow her up without a second's thought.
Other cultures, other rules:
Saudi punishes gang rape victim with 200 lashes
A court in the ultra-conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia is punishing a female victim of gang rape with 200 lashes and six months in jail, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
The 19-year-old woman -- whose six armed attackers have been sentenced to jail terms -- was initially ordered to undergo 90 lashes for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape," the Arab News reported.
But in a new verdict issued after Saudi Arabia's Higher Judicial Council ordered a retrial, the court in the eastern town of Al-Qatif more than doubled the number of lashes to 200.
A court source told the English-language Arab News that the judges had decided to punish the woman further for "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media."
The woman in the picture is totally unaware of how good she has it, or why she has it this good.
