Hatton, you've gotta admit the wording of that law is a bit sketchy. They
could have easily limited it to anyone who coerces another person to get an
abortion. By including the woman they've intentionally made it a gray area.

It's time to face facts: San Francisco is spectacularly mismanaged and
arguably the worst-run big city in America. This year's city budget is an
astonishing $6.6 billion more than twice the budget for the entire state
of Idaho for roughly 800,000 residents. Yet despite that stratospheric

According to what I've read there have not any cases where that happened.
