U.S., Texas Attorney Who Drugged Wife's Drinks To Induce Abortion Sentenced to 180 days in jail - eviltoast

His wife Catherine Herring, who has filed for divorce, told the court the jail sentence was not long enough. She said their 1-year-old daughter, their third child, was born about 10 weeks premature, has developmental delays and attends therapy eight times a week.

“I do not believe that 180 days is justice for attempting to kill your child seven separate times,” Catherine Herring said.

      I don’t think it’s so much about controlling women and their sexuality as much as it is a man wants to ejaculate inside a woman without the consequences of producing a child.

        Even that’s incorrect.

        It isn’t about not dealing with the consequences, abortion would be the easiest solution in that case.

        No it’s simply that women usually have the ultimate say in whether a baby is kept, at least in modern western society. And that is women having too much power.
