Absolutely tragic. The sadder thing is that there are likely more of those types of clinics that have not been found.
I myself am pro-life in which I define life as beginning at conception and I just don't feel that people have the right to terminate the growth of a new baby once it has already begun. If you're going to have sex you have to be prepared with the potential consequences that result from such acts. Contraceptive failure is not an excuse for an abortion... even these products do not guarantee 100% birth control and people should be aware in the first place. However, I also believe that women should be able to appeal for an abortion if they meet certain conditions (experienced rape, life-threatening etc).
In my opinion the previous section of the Criminal Code which restricted abortion procedures had it right. If I remember correctly (been a while since I've studied it) the section restricted abortions but women could apply to a council of doctors to get an exemption. The code was overturned by the SC not because they agreed that a woman's right to have an abortion existed but because of procedural reasons in which women did not have fair and equal access to the councils.
Had they amended the application procedures, I think we would have a sufficient system for handling abortion.
