Massacre Details

Reader SallyVee points us to some extremely detailed articles on the killer and his first two victims. The first article has a lot about the morning incident and the victimes – including pictures.

UK Doctors Shun Abortions

Published by under All General Discussions

This is an interesting bit of news out of the supposedly Liberal UK: doctors are refusing to perform abortions to the point there are not enough doctors to keep up with demands. Does this mean the convenience killings are overwhelming the doctors’ moral sense?
