Being a Daoist Priestess shows us that men weren’t the only type of human beings able to hold a place of power.

Abortion helps them to move on and get over their terrible experience. Also, it can be a protection from an unwanted child. There is no reason that the government would force the rape victim to carry the child that she never wanted.
