UN states told they must legalise abortion

Guardian UK

I'm a supporter to the idea of an international forum like the UN, but this really does not seem to be justified that the UN dictate what countries do either.

my wife met a woman that had that complication when she was doing her maternity ward section for nursing school. She was in the ward having her 3rd child. I guess every pregancy was making her lose more eyesight...

Was she diabetic, or have gestational diabetes?

I just asked, I remembered wrong. She wasn't going blinder, she was going deafer. Every pregnancy was causing her to lose more hearing and by her 3rd she was all deaf.
