Death is a better alternative for many, who are then prevented from committing suicide without resorting to gruesome means. Improvised abortions are common. Recognizing this shouldn't be controversial.
I'm sure that came off wrong. I guess, you meant the abortions, which is, to me, slightly less controversial than suicide or worse. Death by abortion might be a conflation of terms, in some value system, so the comment is confusing. I guess it's provocative on purpose. I agree, there must be better alternatives to sweatshops.
