WTHeck does that mean? You can go to a clinic or hospital and pay 100's of dollars for them to "induce" an abortion, but if you do it yourself it is illegal???
Hey, Planned Parenthood employees gotta eat!

Hi, Justanobody!
Virginia was the first state (Commonwealth) to put the NRA's "Operation Exile" into effect more than a decade ago.
It's principal function is the prosesution of crimes committed with firearms. Which had and still has a significant effect on crime throught VA. Legally speaking, the mother is screwed.
I'd love for Maryland to put "Exile" in effect, but with a solidly Democratic State Assembly opposite a Republican Governor, the chances are slim and none.

That's what it looks like. Killing the baby is OK. It just has to be done by a licensed professional.
Pretty much. A doctor has a 'license', the legal definition of which is *governmental permission*.
No government permission slip = 'illegal'.

The more I dig around, the further I'm convinced that this whole legal/illegal thing is a scam perpetuated by government in order to control the People.
Just my 2 cents :-)
