Decidedly anti-US slant right from the get go, via Christine Dale:

Actually they say on the commentary that the actress playing Mary Kane is also American...

Yes, I know that actress but that's definitely not how she speaks -- no southern accent. Wonder why it's so broad and unrealistic? Doesn't make sense to me????

Think about it this way. her strong anti-abortionist beliefs probably stem from religion, and considering that she's going off killing people who perform abortions, we could assume she's a fundamentalist christian (i mean, we do see her 'praying', which i think Tom comments on), whom most people in the world would assume, if the person was american, would come from the southern part of that country.

and hence the southern accent.

but that's just my take.
