OTTAWA, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Canada's abortion debate is being revived by the case of a woman who killed her boyfriend when he tried to force her to have one.
Melinda Morin, 29, of Calgary, Alberta, was convicted this month of manslaughter for stabbing her boyfriend, Barry Neil Godwin, 48, to death in November 2009. Her lawyer unsuccessfully argued self-defense after Godwin kicked Morin in the stomach because she refused to have an abortion.
