2. If she believes it is life threatening

10. Doesn't even have to be life threatening.

A fear of sexual assault is enough to justify lethal force in a lot of states. How politicians reconcile the belief that sexual assault is a severe enough harm that lethal force is justified, with a belief that women should be forced to submit to a vaginal probe in order to get access to a Constitutionally-protected abortion, is a mystery for the ages.

4. Taking you literally, only if he's standing over her, either threatening to rape her with it

or to beat her about the head with it.

5. If she thinks she will suffer great bodily harm endangering her life

then yes.

Her legs are covered and she is not pro choice.
