Slightly off topic, but I find it interesting that in two of your examples it isn't directly the oppressor paying for their crimes directly, but someone (presumably?) uninvolved. Is there a reason for that? I'm all for karma, but it feels like this is still targeting innocents..

It's why I feel so conflicted. It's targeting those "the only moral abortion is mine" types in the only way they'll feel it. How wise do you get an old Conservative man to understand how important abortion is without someone "innocent" (assuming they weren't complicit) suffering from the consequences? I guess it's punishment in a more Biblical sense than moral consequence, but they need to feel the level of pain they inflicted on people and then be met with the same "God's plan" bullshit as they watch someone they care about suffer. I just don't think they'll ever understand otherwise
