Yes, but Vlad and the worst excesses of the Romans were considered egregious enough to have made history. This woman and her ilk will not make history, because their acts have become commonplace in a culture that, at long last, learned better and is now reverting.
Perhaps 100 years from now in an enlightened age, America will make the history books as the notorious slayer of 50 million babies. :(
Along with many other countries.
And perhaps history will record that we halted the barbaric practice.
