    And yet here we are in the US banning abortions and heading down the same road. Give women options if they don’t want to carry a pregnancy to term and you won’t have horrific acts like neonate abandonment.

        I’m not sure if your last sentence was an aside or in reference to this case. But I just thought I would mention in case it was the latter; Qatar is a necessary transfer airport to Australia from Europe and the UK if you are travelling with Qatar Airlines (which is often one of the cheaper fares available on the very expensive journey) or I believe if you book via Quantas, Qatar Airlines is one of their partner companies that you could end up on.
