At the inquest, the doctor concerned said that this was "normal practice". The boss at her clinic said:
"The time that can be given to a woman by a counsellor is limited in a busy hospital. [...] I am satisfied everything was done to make sure Emma was consenting to surgery. I don't feel there was any gap in the counselling service."Let me get this right: a woman with a history of anxiety and depression presents for an abortion. She is given a phone number to talk to someone. She has the abortion and then commits suicide. But there is no gap in the counselling service.
The icing on the cake:
Recording a verdict of suicide, Dr Carlyon said: "It is clear that a termination can have a profound effect on a woman's life.So that's all right then.
"But I am reassured by the evidence of the doctors here."

The Coroner is reassured ?
The abortion of twin children, followed by the suicide of the mother.
That's three lives lost.
But the Coroner is reassured.
Heaven help us.
This is so sad. Why couldn't their "counselling" direct her towards a pro-life counselling service just so she could've had a real choice. These people are so callous.
God have mercy on us all.
We deserve a chastisement from Heaven.
This is a disgrace and the coroner, actually is in error according to law.
This was a person with depression and anxiety. This must have been known to the doctors and was, presumably the reason the abortion was permitted. It should have been someone's priority to ensure that a counsellor was at her bedside as soon as possible.
Giving her a card with the number of some distant counselling service on it just does not cut it either morally or legally and did not fulfill the clinic's duty of care. The ladies family should sue.
Wherever big money is to be made - no one cares about the destruction of life and human misery. Look at the planned new abortuaries in the USA - not content with a 22,000 sq ft facility IPPF are building some the size of air-craft hangers! 88,000 sq ft of space in which to butcher the most vulnerable human beings in the world - the unborn child in its own mother's womb.
This is yet another measure of just how more 'civilised' our wonderful world is becoming - and we are told to worry about 'global warming' and recycling plastic bags - for heaven's sake!
May the Lord have mercy on this poor woman's soul.
We should all do penance for this woman for allowing her and others like her to fall into that sense of hopelessness...
Abortion truly is diabolical...
Unutterably sad.
Jesu, mercy.
Mary, pray.
