Some commentary:
When asked how long a girl might have to wait to get back to the work of the sex trade after an abortion, two weeks minimum is the answer. He protests, “We’ve still got to make money.” The clinic worker understands his predicament and so advises that the girls can still work “Waist up, or just be that extra action walking by..." to advertise[.]For a long time I was persuaded that, however personally opposed I might be to abortion, it was a matter of decent respect to let the individuals involved make such an intimate decision according to their private moral conscience. Here we see no such example. The girl, if she has a private moral conscience kept intact despite the trauma, is not really being consulted. She is left at the mercy of a pimp and his accomplice -- one who probably thinks of herself as a defender of something like "women's rights," at the same time she consorts in the slavery of women.
The American project is conscious of the importance of individual liberty, which is what has allowed the practice of abortion to survive our moral good sense. The rot that has followed from that infection -- is that language too strong? -- now poisons us. Probably this woman got into her line of work thinking she was doing good. This is what she is doing instead.
