"They used to throw women in the water to see if they were witches. If they drowned, they were innocent. Now they're saying the only #abortion exception is if the woman's life is at risk. If she dies, she was at risk.

Same religious freaks that we kicked out of the UK doing the oppression thing.

They grew back in the UK eventually as well, just like weeds strangling the rest of society.

She was miscarrying yet refused an abortion due to the law and died of sepsis.
