A fear of sexual assault is enough to justify lethal force in a lot of states. How politicians reconcile the belief that sexual assault is a severe enough harm that lethal force is justified, with a belief that women should be forced to submit to a vaginal probe in order to get access to a Constitutionally-protected abortion, is a mystery for the ages.
