- I do not condone her death threats, and I apologise if I gave the

- commemorate the death of the foetus."

- I do not know your ex-wife, and thus cannot comment on what she did or did
- not consider prior to the abortion. However, it would be highly unusual
- for her to be unaware that by having an abortion she was killing the foetus.
