gaag...Almost makes me want to puke.
Great for Tasha - and she is to be praise, but was this line for real?

At the time some in the track and field community urged Tasha, touted as one of the U.K.'s best chances for a gold medal, to abort her baby, and the media chastised her when she did not.

What kind of cretins would actually 'urge' someone to make this kind of 'choice' (murder) for a shiny medallion?
Was she really 'chastised' by the media?
I'm not up on this story -- but I hope its grossly exaggerated.

Your hope is likely granted...LifeSiteNews, unfortunately, has a tendency to exaggerate and use hyperbole. The people who urged her to abort and criticized her for not doing it were probably a few loudmouthed left-wing pundits, rather than a coordinated conspiracy from the media.

Anyway, the important issue here is that we should congratulate the woman on her medal and wish her and her son all the best.
