That's not hospital abortions that is women ordering pills online to perform unsafe abortions in their own homes because they cannot afford to travel to England. We need to legislate for this medical procedure to be able to be carried out safely under the care of a doctor.

Boiled Gin and a handful of coins I believe. Oddly quite a common concoction as I've read it a few places now. Not sure if she ever told Phil though I read it in the book she wrote about him after he died.

thee glitz wrote: Telling your child you'd rather they were aborted isn't cool - not good for their esteem. It makes you the worst parent and a drain on humanity.
sup_dude wrote: » Only if they were told like that. However, just like the rest of your posts, you're going hysterical about it. I think you will find that it isn't necessarily a case of saying "I wish I'd aborted you" in a distasteful way without context. But I think you know that.
thee glitz wrote: If you tell a child that they might/would have been aborted but for financial reasons is one thing. To then raise them as pro-abortion is quite another. To do both, is to tell your child they weren't worth it.

Guy in Louisiana has also recently been charged with feticide (along with murder) for killing a pregnant teacher (he was the vice principal). I think there should be legal consequences for sure (excluding abortions carried out for medical reasons) if abortion is illegal in that country. Certainly for any abortionist offering such a service anyway. I'd liked to have seen the following guy get 20 years anyway, but he only got 18 months:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/25/jail-for-mastermind-behind-late-abortions-clinic-exposed-by-the/

She has sought out someone to 'kill a baby', or possibly done so herself. Why not jail her the same way you'd jail someone who kills a six month old.

I hope for your own sake you're talking rot or blindly following the narrative to make your point cause if thats how you actually feel thats f*cking depressing!
