I suspect that Miller is pro-life. I suspect that abortion repels this healthy, wealthy, influential woman, and she does not understand why any woman would want an abortion, because she has never needed one. Empathy, as ever, is an abstract to this government, a barrier to its ideological commitment to dismantling the state, and demonising those who need it. Women who are suddenly impoverished or vulnerable or very young – they are beyond her understanding, and her brief.
