I can't help going back to my mother yelling "sluts!" I don't think it is adequately recognized that the complex of what's called "pro-life" is grounded in raw woman-hate and fear. I predict that there is soon to be a flock of laws undoing the whole concept of paternity implying financial responsibility. "She made him do it!" "All she had to do was keep her legs together!" "Her skirt was too short!" Thom has discussed the Biblical curse of Eve. So-called "god" didn't just punish Eve: it cursed all females forever. I repeat my prediction that there will be a surge of "missing" women. The slut made him do it, and he can't just give her a lift and a couple of hundred bucks to "take care of it" anymore. What's a gun for?
I think what you described was and still can be typical especially with religious women. You won't find me sharing a meal with any of them.
If you can stand a glimpse of the past, there is a movie out called Miranda's Victim. Legal eagles probably know the case inside and out, but Trish Weir just let them tell her personal side of the story. I appreciated learning it.
I will look up that movie. Thanks. Mom's case was weird/ crazy-making. Not predominantly religious. Master-degreed. Teacher of young women she adored, even maintaining friendships with lesbian students, though there was weird spotty denial even there. She was more emblematic of pure authoritarian, from Bavarian patriarchal family. So, very reactive toward women who were part of 60's social unrest, or non-conforming: woman behind a bullhorn, or a "bra-burner," fallen and debauched even more than men. Like that. Go figure.

I hope you are wrong, but....
