One of the things that destroyed America (and was foretold by Orwell & Rand) is the criminalization of everyday unpleasantness.
Technically, what she did was assault. But to get the cops involved was overkill. I really hope they don’t press charges. Not on religious grounds. But, common sense. She’s already been humiliated before the world. She doesn’t need a criminal record for flipping out over an emotional issue.
I really admire the restraint, otherwise. If she was shrieking in my face like that, I fear what I’d do. She was trying to provoke them to violence. Either for publicity, or she wanted a punch in the face to pay for some dental work.

Back in Orwell’s day a woman who did this would have been carted off to a Nervous Hospital and evaluated. Or at the very least her family would have had Doc. Baker make a house call, mind you doctors did that back then.
And it’s not hard to pick apart what she is doing. She’s worshiping her uterus among other things. Hey, if she has a hysterectomy at some point, does she then lose her soul? The amusing questions suggest themselves.
