Supposing she had killed a three year old? Or even her mother or neighbor? Would she have been sentenced to 3 years suspended sentence? Is life different?

Five year probation can be much more effective. PF cadres only spends one night jail.

Half of the women in Zambia have had abortions. What kind of nonsense is this? Why isn’t the man who impregnated her in prisoner as well?

And yet slay queens can abort at will, no one touches them.

Justice is blind.

You may thin there is no relation but there actually is.
