Answer 1

No.  Perhaps people are beginning to see this abomination as it is.  To kill something as pure as an infant is indeed a cruel practice.  They are afraid of something or Someone to be certain.  If this world were more Honorable, we wouldn't even have abortion as an option.  There are plenty of other ways to get by.

Answer 2

I don't know if I would consider it "honorable" or not, but I can guarantee you that those above me who answered this question have never been or known a 12-year-old girl who was brutally and repeatedly sexually assaulted by several men and became pregnant in the attack.  Would you force that child to have a child?  If you've never been in a situation, you have no idea what you would do.  Anyway, to answer your question, I imagine some of it is due to fear and some is probably due to the fact that they wouldn't make near as much money as they would doing something else.

Answer 3

It's a dangerous job. There's a constant threat of your building being bombed or your fingers being cut off.

Answer 4

It has never been a specialty. So nobody has ever lined up to be one, even before they were threatened by agitators.

Answer 5

Possibly they don't want to be blown up by some Xtian psycho with a grudge?
