In the paper today.

Lady apparently takes a pill (which she ordered online) 40 weeks into her pregnancy.

Judge sends her to jail for murder iirc and then goes onto say something like "You've robbed the child of a life".


Mrs Catt, from Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire, was sentenced at Leeds crown court following her guilty plea in July to procuring her own miscarriage.
The 35-year-old had bought drugs on the internet that induced her labour when her pregnancy was nearly full-term.
At first she claimed the boy was stillborn and that she buried his body but no evidence of this was ever found, the court heard.
The married mother-of-two discovered she was pregnant in 2009 and believed the child was the result of an affair she had.
She tried to get an abortion at the time but was over the legal 24-week limit.
This led to Mrs Catt ordering a drug on the internet from a company in Mumbai, India, which she is then believed to have taken when she was nearly 40 weeks pregnant.

Lets start this again.

As I mentioned earlier I found the Judges statement (the one regarding the robbing of life) weird. Simply because, if the mother had a legal abortion a life would've still been taken / robbed.

I'm neither 100% for or against abortion. What grinds my gears is what the judge said...... That is all.

And your opinion?

I read this on the BBC news website yesterday. Abortion within the legal window is one thing, but full term? The lady is wrong in the head. She's had abortions before (or maybe one?) from what I remember.

I can't see how anything other than murder is the right sentence really.

Is that first of all she is nuts.

Second of all I found the Judge's statement rather strange... "Robbed a child...". Abortion is Abortion.... The life wouldve been "Robbed" regardless.

The force is strong with this one.

OP - typically what happens is that you post a terrible link to the DM and offer no opinion, never to return to your own thread. You've gone a bit off-piste and talked about a thing you might have read but without providing a link and ... it doesn't feel right :(

Chill. My option was on route.

Sorry for the delay.

No it isn't.



It would definitely appear that she has mental issues.



Regardless of what? You mean had a legal abortion been performed? There is a big, big difference.



Really. The OP has been modified but is still nothing more than a link and run.

Updated OP.

I'm of the view it should only be considered under certain circumstances.

Scenario A - Aborting a child because getting pregnant was a mistake = WRONG/NOT COOL IMO.

Scenario B - Aborting the child of a rapist = Not cool but I can completely understand why a woman would want an abortion.
