I figured it this way: she had massive cognitive dissonance because
she was opposed to killing any living thing (assuming this is restricted
to *animal* life). By aborting one single human, the number of
innocent animals that would go undevoured as a direct result would
be difficult to even estimate, thereby resulting in her cog-dis, displayed
as anger. spike
