Queensland couple found not guilty of Abortion.

It is apparently against the law in the Australia to abort an unwanted pregnancy. The couple  in question was arrested for possession and use of RU486 aka "the morning after pill". Thankfully the jury acquitted them based on the claim that the woman had every right to poison herself as long as it wasnt an attempt of suicide. BTW this wasnt some tribal court..this was up in Cairns (great barrier reef) and the couple was from Queensland, Oz's version of California.

If anyone is curious..my understand is that the morning after bill doesnt "kill a fetus" or whatever. Its a steroid that causes horomonial changes which make the uterus not welcoming to any egg being released. So the egg never sticks around long enough to be implanted.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
