    If I was her I would've gotten an abortion just to spite them.

    I'm sorry. She... recovered from addiction and was punished for it? Not to mention the fact that its a fucking fetus, not an independent life form

    Canada just looks better and better with every passing day. When you live in a country where a fetus is more important and has more rights than a human being does, and where the Christians have completely taken over a government and made abortion illegal in any and all cases and destroyed your freedom of religion in the name of freedom of religion, I'm abandoning ship.

    I read about this in my local paper, sadly because this is happening in my state.

    That poor woman. She's been through enough I'm sure, getting clean and being pregnant.

    I am glad however that someone is challenging this idiotic law.
