Oh why did they execute Tim McVhey?

My sig becomes stronger in feeling everyday.

Now would someone mind explaining this to me? Oh and send some money so I can escape this hell while you're at it.

Non-consentual medical procedure = blatant violation of a fundamental human right.

Also extremely disturbing that he's admitted to doing the same for other underage women, who'd likely have been under pressure as a result of being pregnant at an early age... questions arise, like whether they were coerced into the procedure, whether their parents were informed or involved, and rules on whether such a procedure is lawful at all, under the circumstances.

However, since this article comes from a typical modern source, there's virtually no examination of the truly relevant issues and facts, just a broad overview intended to incite debate and controversy rather than provide the public with any kind of helpful information. That's all the media care about these days.

However, it does seem like yet another politician with a very dubious past, perhaps guilty of some morally outrageous acts, who'll likely get away with it all because (1) someone else will defend what he did, perhaps on religious grounds or (2) because it's election season, so this will get buried under all the over mud that's being thrown around, instead of being treated with the seriousness it deserves, the kind of seriousness that we'd see if these allegations were levelled at anyone except a political candidate.

Oh, and Timothy McVeagh was executed because he murdered about 160 innocents. Seems reasonable to me.

I don't get the connection between the article and the thread title. Tim McVhey didn't perform any sort of contraceptive surgery on young women (that I know of). This doctor should have his license revoked, go to prison for a lengthy period of time, and pay an exhorbitant sum to all his victims. I don't think execution should be an issue here. Noone would practice medicine if the penalty for malpractice was death - especially considering how quick lawyers are to push for malpractice suits. Post the article that describes this man bombing a populated public building, and we'll talk death penalty.

This whole thing is kind of vague, but if what it incenuates is the truth, than that is totally unacceptable. He should lose his liscense, reimburse ALL of the victims, and possibly serve jail time. Why the hell would someone do this? For what reason?
