[Mrs. Don-o]

"But Tiller the Killer performs more than 400 per year, for reasons so silly as the ‘mother’ being depressed."

Particularly odious because (1) ambivalence about having a child (often linked to hormonal changes) is so common that it's practically a symptom of pregnancy; and (2) abortion is a major cause of depression.

"Depression" is never a "silly" thing, and in some cases can be serious. It can often respond positively to improved nutrition, lifestyle changes, and counseling. But abortion is not a treament for depression.

But abortion is not a treament for depression.

Indeed. I would venture to say it would lead to deepening depression.
