Well, genintal mutilation is a common, even normal, event in the lives of women in some countries.
In many places (past and present) slavery was common, even normal. No one thought anything of it.
So were/are public executions, stonings, etc. Perfectly common and normal in many societies (past and present).
Rape and pillage is/was common, normal, even expected as a consequence of war.
Women and blacks (and most people in fact) not having the right to vote was considered common and normal. It was hardly even questioned. Voting not existing at all as a concept was considered common and normal over much of human history. That was just the way things were.
Lots of things still are, or have been, “common” and “normal”.
So can we use that defense to justify anything we want?
Oh well, it’s just common and normal.

Sick and Evil.
Abortion is part of being a mother? That’s a contradiction, like saying that stealing is part of being a Boy Scout, or telling the truth is part of being a democrat.
Unless your uterus is somehow an extra-terrestrial free-standing module.
