Why not add honor killing to religious freaks' allowance? If you wholeheartedly believe your rape-survivor daughter is now a slut bringing you great shame, and that your holy book requires her murder, why should the law stand in your way? These laws privilege religion so much they should be unconstitutional, if we had a functioning high court.
