Back in the day Mr Feastingonroadkill once had the job of dealing with coroners records from the 1890’s to the 1960’s. This entailed going through inquest and sudden death files.
One thing he came away convinced of,was the misery caused by draconian abortion laws. If you’ve ever read a report on the death of a scared 14 year old pregnant schoolgirl who died whilst trying to...
