"It's not easy carrying a pregnancy for nine months, [and] after that getting a drug from a pharmacy to kill your own child," she says."
It is disturbing to me, as well, that this is what makes her mad. Not the fact that her child was killed...but the fact that she had just gone through the trouble of carrying him for 9 months, only to kill him 4 months after giving birth! Are ya kidding me? Wow. Things are very different in Nigeria.
i'm a copywriter. it's one word, not two. and it means i write ads.
i like words, ideas, bacon, butter and running. i also like god and my family and my dog.
sometimes i'm happy, sometimes i'm sad. but always, i'm brave. i used to think i wasn't. i was wrong.

(faith: i think that's just a bad-journalism quote)
and, the reason things like this happen is "follow the money" (coupled with some really horrible ethics)
