- It's "her body" ain't it? Don't she have the right to do with "her body"
- as she pleases? Are you saying the abortionist would have forbidden her
- from taking possession of this piece of her body, once she pushed it out
- under the influence of the drug he merely administered? (Never mind the
- possibility that he could have simply administered the drug, then sent her
- home to deal with the mess of the induced stillbirth herself.)
-
- No, Susan, I seriously doubt there is anything to stop a woman of an
- aborted baby from taking possession of the remains, since my own brother-in-
- law was able to take his own appendix home in a jar only two weeks ago.
