Kitti Wytchwood of If You Die in SL… blog writes about Family Planning. Here’s a UK perspective of the United States trying to outlaw abortion clinics. Kitti writes, “Whatever your personal opinions about abortion and sexual rights, we have to accept that they are just that – our personal opinions – and by banning these things, or making them taboo and dirty, we are simply making it difficult for people in potentially horrendous situations to get the help they need.” Well said.
