A very common type of abortion is Dilation and Evacuation (D&E for short) (Dugan 2).This…

‘Yes, now’ It only took a few minutes to walk in silence from the Bridge to Jo’s house. Many times over the years when the girls were younger, Antonello picked Ashleigh up from or dropped her off at Jo’s house. From the street the house was hidden by shrubs and trees, there was an old wire fence, leaning towards the street under the weight of several bushes and an iron gate, rusted at the hinges, a little out of sorts, so that it scraped on the ground as Jo pushed it open. It wouldn’t take much…

A. G. Gardiner - On Saying Please Alfred George Gardiner (1865–1946), a British journalist and author, is highly regarded in the literary arena. From 1915 he contributed to The Star under the pseudonym (pen name) Alpha of the Plough. The story behind the choosing of the name is interesting.
