“So, what do you want for your child? Or do you want a child at all?”
The Empress of Salt and Fortune is about—among other things—empire and power, and you cannot talk about either without talking about reproductive rights. Here's In-yo giving Rabbit a choice again. Given what happened to In-yo after she gave birth to her own child and the decisions she has made, it would have been unforgivable if she hadn't offered Rabbit this choice, especially with what she has in mind. Even if Rabbit, who's restrained by her own precarious situation and how much she loves In-yo, probably would have forgiven her, I know I wouldn't have.
