A typical Roman Catholic would look upon abortion as a foul way of risking general human life in all its essence‚ they believe that A child is a gift of god‚ and if you receive it‚ you’ve personally been chosen by god for this gift‚ So if your infertile‚ it’s just the path that god has chosen for you.

She wants the reader to know the background to the plot and for them to understand it. The climate of fear in which the Holy Inquisition bestowed upon people is relevant to this story as we get a glimpse of the horror it can lead to early on in the book. So early in fact
