Reply #72: I think the word "kill" is the key...

I mean, this guy could have told everyone he knew and she knew about the abortion (if it actually was an abortion) anyways. He didn't specifically call her a murderer, and under the law, if it was an abortion, she is not. Whether a person thinks abortion is "killing" and a fetus is a human being for all intents and purposes, I think that is just a matter of opinion more than anything else, and not really something that can be said as "true" or "false".

If she didn't have an abortion, then she's got a much better case, but the fact that she didn't bring up libel charges makes me think she doesn't have that to support her.

I'm sure a sympathetic court could find something though. How it will go on appeal, if it gets to that point, would be interesting.
