Man Jailed For Abortion Pill-Laced Yogurt

Swede Gets 18 Months For Trying To Make His Girlfriend Miscarry By Mixing Pills In Her Food

(AP)  A Swedish court of appeal on Tuesday sentenced a 27-year-old man to 18 months in prison for trying to make his girlfriend miscarry by mixing abortion pills in her food.

The man, who was not named for legal reasons, had his jail term increased from a previous one-year sentence set by a district court in June.

In its ruling, the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden found the man guilty of aggravated assault for attempting to make his girlfriend of eight years miscarry by giving her a yoghurt containing three ground-up pills. The sentence also included a more minor count of assault.

The court documents said the woman had decided to have the baby even though he felt he was not ready to be a father. The man ordered some pills on the Internet and fooled his doctor into prescribing others for another condition.

The woman ate the yoghurt and suffered severe stomach pains and vaginal bleeding.

When she later realized what she had eaten, she decided to have an abortion, fearing that the fetus had been permanently damaged by the pills.

The defendant's lawyer, Lars Boberg, said his client would most likely appeal the ruling.

Earlier I read a comment by a female that the child within her body is part of her and that she has a right to do with the child as she sees fit. Well, would you cut off your hand? Or how about your leg? Those are parts of your body, too. The same goes for the child within. The child lives off of you, it nurtures what you feed it. As the child grows in the womb, it starts to kick and squirm around. What I don''t understand is why some people regard this child as nothing but a fetus. That sounds too close of a discription of a feces.
Now I do understand that there are some women in this world who have been raped or are going to die/on the verge of death, so abortion is acceptable in those cases. But when it comes to the average woman who just doesn''t want the baby, you shouldn''t have gotten pregnant in the first place. Here''s a hint of the SAFEST way not to get pregnant: Don''t have SEXXXX!!!!

If the man does not want a baby - he has options. Don''t have *** or get a visectomy, simple as that.
God gave us *** to pro-create. If he doesn''t want to pro-create - then give up the ***.
Be responsible for your actions. You create a child, you help care for the child.

Men should have the right to decline parental rights and not pay child support too. I think the world have fewer unwanted pregnancys if women had to take care of babies themselves.

How ignorant are you? A woman does not get pregnant on her own and therefore, should not have to support a child on her own. The man made his choice and was dating her so he should have to own up to his actions. It''s people like you who make single moms feel bad when the man decides to be a jerk.

No Dear The parents that give little girls dolls to play mother. They think that is their role only. They can''t wait to have a child as they feel it makes them feel grown up. No Dear we need to teach girls there is more to life than breeding children. We need to teach boys the pros and cons of fatherhood. The parents want grand children. I told Mum not by me. I meant it. The man does have choices. He fathered the the nuborn. TRUE he can''t carry it. But he has the duty as does the woman together what will be done. He is male and he is the head of househood. That was so when I was young. They pay child support to their children and if they do not want children then be fixed. Lady yer living lala land.

Any women should be able to have a safe abortion - or not. It is her body and her choice!

[leslieann9]

To mkbjon68

She could also keep her legs together. Once again, they both should have the same choices.

[mkbjon68]

Well, I am a Christian woman who is pro-choice and though I do not agree with the man''''s tactics I kind of see where he is coming from. A woman has many choices, abortion, adoption, keeping the child, etc.. A man has none. If he doesn''''t want a child, he still has to pay. Not fair!!! Men shouldn''''t put up with this. If a woman wants to keep a child, fine for her but she should provide for it on her own. It takes two to make a fetus each should have the same choices.

Uhhh....WRONG! He can remain in possession of his sperm and avoid this scenario altogether.

[wakingamy]

coronalu- just to answer your question, I wouldn''t have cared a bit if my mother decided to abort me - I''d never know the difference. Who cares? That''s a non-point. Right now, I''m thinking that I may have been better off that way, given that I''m living in a world full of people who still feel that I have no right to say what happens to my own body. Cheers.

I can tell you from experience that at 17 weeks the child has eyes, fingers, mouth, nose, etc. The child is alive inside the mother. Its no different than a person on life support in a hospital. I am pro-choice. God gave us all free will. He is the final judge and we have to account for everything. If she really wanted to keep it, the doctor should have been able to check if the child was having any effects from the drugs. If family can choose to pull a plug a woman can choose to pull a cord. Sounds sick saying it like that, but God knew that child before it was in the womb, and this woman and the man will be judged in due time.

@ GrammaWhamma
He was charged with aggravated assault- not murder. Lets put it this way- If it is a woman''s choice to have *** then it is not rape.
He forced his will upon her. That is assault. Although, I understand your reasoning it does not apply, because he was not charged with murder.

[sassalin]

b-easy63,

Do you really believe what you wrote? Just give more people another excuse. The condom broke or the BC didn''t work. Grow up. There are so many other ways to NOT get pregnant. Not having ***, the hundreds of forms of BC on the market and condoms are just a few. This is the main reason the world is the way it is today....PEOPLE DON''T TAKE ANY PERSONAL RESPONBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS!!!!!!!!. It''s never their fault. The guy is scum and should go to jail for murder.

Did you actually *read* the article?

The woman involved in this story was going to have the baby until her boyfriend decided to try and kill the unborn fetus.

While I don''t necessarily agree with abortion, I cannot blame the woman involved for having an abortion due to fear of what may have happened to the fetus during this disgusting attack on an unborn fetus.

But if a pregnant woman who wants her baby is kicked in the stomach or some other act of violence ends the life of that unborn baby...then it can be considered a murder. Posted by GrammaWhamma at 05:59 AM : Feb 27, 2008


Here''s a simple way to understand this: Since the baby is a part of the mother and can''t live without her allowing it to stay in her--for a certain amount of time--it''s hers to keep or kill since it is taking up space in HER body and it cannot live in her body if she chooses not to let it (and really no one could stop her from killing it, if she really wanted to nor could anyone KNOW she is pregnant to stop her if she does not go to a doctor or tell anyone) After 3 months, a child is considered potentially viable though the true age of viability is about 5 months now.

Viability is the baby''s ability to live outside the mom on its own. this means the child has no right to live, until it can breathe and function on its own, Prior to that time--the child eats, breathes and even ******** through the mom.

This all means, that a woman has the right to determine if she wants to be an incubator or not--but it is murder for someone else to make that decision (by kicking or hitting her--because they are doing stuff to her body) SAme way you can hit yourself in the head with a hammer and you might go to a mental ward or just hospital and then home--but if someone else hits you--that is assault and they go to jail.

f you''''re the man & you don''''t want your girlfriend to get pregnant, use a condom. Why are single women having unprotected *** with men if they''''re not 100% positive that he''''s going to stick around if she gets pregnant?

I don''t know what kind of sexxxx you have but here are 2 reasons condoms are not such a hot idea as the way to have protective sexxx:

1. Psychologically many people are turned off by a condom. They lose interest in the sexx as they feel it is not the "real" thing since their is a plastic barrier between them and skin. for those people, to use a condom is equivalent to not having sexxxx at all. This may seem inconsequential but understand that sexxxx is at least 95% mental, and 5% physical--if doing something a certain way is a turn off because it is perceived as substandard or not the real thing--there you go.

2. For some women, a condom is a waste of time. Why? Because their vaginal muscles are such that in record time the condom no matter how snug is stripped from the man''s penissss and they end up having unprotected sexxxx anyway. Yep. this is true and not as rare as people might think. In these cases after trying to have protected sexxxx , the woman ends up trying to fish the condom out, since the man already is out. The man''s rx? "Wow, I didn''t know a woman could do that" or "Wow, this has never happened to me before" either way--the condom was a waste of time. Still, bc pills are always an option.

Everyone can throw their stones which ever way they want regarding this womans'' choice to have an abortion, but simple fact of the matter is, you don''t know what you will do until you are there.

Women need to wise up. Protect themselves. Teenage girls can be excused their stupid decisions made with the teenage brain but adult women are something else. You would think they would be smarter.

Well you started out good ... but then, as always it seems, people tend to disregard the man''s importance in this too, and just HOW do you figure a woman is going to be 100% sure ever?? lol Even if married. Men have a nasty way of sounding all committed to get the s3x they want -women can too.
The "smartness" you speak about is not only for women. It goes both ways! People should be smarter and not treat *** so callously.

[keithle1]

18 months in prison seems pretty fair. Can''t be giving people pills without their knowledge. What if she had a reaction to it & died?

I''m glad I never got a woman pregnant. But then I wasn''t afraid to use condoms. Yes, you''ll be able to find one in your size, Super Stud. I''m sure you can afford them. Save the pennies you make recycling cans.

I certainly would NOT want to be paying child support for 18 years to a woman I had a 2-3 month relationship with & wasn''t in love with. Oy vey. 18 YEARS. That''s a lot of money.

If you''re the man & you don''t want your girlfriend to get pregnant, use a condom. Why are single women having unprotected *** with men if they''re not 100% positive that he''s going to stick around if she gets pregnant?

If you''re a husband & you don''t want a baby but your wife does & she''s not budging on that point, maybe it''s time to get divorced.

Fetus vs. Baby.

I don''t understand how pro choice people can say if the fetus isn''t wanted by the mother she can terminate it and it is not murder. But if a pregnant woman who wants her baby is kicked in the stomach or some other act of violence ends the life of that unborn baby...then it can be considered a murder. Well it can''t be both ways. So the law says a woman (host of the parasite) gets to decide if her child is a parasite or a baby!!?? How sick this all is...
