I called up Lynn Paltrow, the executive director of the National Advocates for Pregnant Women (who happens to be my cousin by marriage), and asked her: Why does tremendous outcry over restrictive abortion laws come after a woman dies, rather than before?

It is to dehumanize,” she said. “It is martyrdom and the visible suffering and death of [an actual] woman that reminds people of their humanity and their right to life.”
