Vilar's description of what happened "after her 9th and 10th abortions" is disturbing, but what happened before then — how did she get to nine? Did the cycle of self-destruction actually began much earlier, was her husband uncooperative about birth control, did they decide to try for children and then back off? And, given that Vilar is obviously an extreme case, do these questions matter at all to the larger abortion debate?

Wow.

I stumbled across this earlier today, but didn't get a chance to read it yet. The headline alone was disturbing enough.

The couple obviously have some serious issues.

That is nobody's business, isn't it, merrie?
