        I’d say the US also doesn’t do the whole human sacrifice thing at least, but then again, causing pregnant women to die by forcing them to carry unviable pregnancies to term for religious reasons seems awfully close.

    I never knew massive public pressure could cause miscarriages. But, now that I think of it, stress is wicked.
