Nobody here said anything about a woman having any choice whatsoever...except maybe to choose to watch their rugrats. I believe what most here want is the option for US to make the choice for everyone else.

I guess we could set up abortion clinics in zoos... That would probably make it more accessible than it currently is in some states.

You had me until that last little sentence...

All ya has ta do is jump da moat!

Great. Then we'll just have more dead gorillas on our hands...NOT the solution I was hoping for

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said the child's mother had three other children with her, and she was attending to them when the 3-year-old "just scampered off" on May 28.

The Cincinnati police had investigated the family's actions.

Legal experts had said that prosecution on child endangerment or similar charges seems unlikely. The family has declined to comment.

The zoo plans to reopen its Gorilla World on Tuesday with a higher, reinforced barrier. The boy apparently climbed over the outer barrier before falling some 15 feet into a shallow moat. A special response team shot and killed the 17-year-old western lowland gorilla named Harambe to protect the boy.

The zoo's role will be reviewed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which enforces the Animal Welfare Act. An animal protection watchdog group has urged that the zoo face federal fines.

The shooting caused a wide outpouring of criticism, blaming the boy's parents or the zoo for the gorilla death. A Cincinnati police spokesman said last week police planned to "reach out" to the boy's mother to advise her of threatening language in some posts.

The zoo said that there had been no earlier breaches in Gorilla World's 38-year history and that the previous barrier had passed multiple inspections by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which accredits zoos. Zoo spokeswoman Michelle Curley said the outer barrier will now be 42 inches high — a half foot taller than before — with solid wood beams on top and at the bottom, plus knotted rope netting at the bottom.

Film at 11.... 🤔

Maybe if they'd have watched the movie first, would have seen gorillas like human babies and would cause no harm to 'em. Kid woulda grown up raised better than his momma was doing.

Dunno?
