The Last Abortion Doctor

The Last Abortion Doctor

What do you think about abortion? This is an important question. My stance really is just the LDS church's stance. However, I do want to say that I think extremism on both ends of the spectrum is wrong.

Someone left a very cruel and distressing comment.

Anonymous, if you have words to say about Lisha, I'd like to have a discussion with you. I might punch you face in to lead the discussion. You deserve nothing less after having written such vile, baseless garbage.

LUNACY!

Dear Rich,

I'm sorry someone wrote that pile of refuse on this blog. I'm also sorry that they couldn't use proper grammar or bother to use spell check. It's always better for an author to demonstrate that they are capable of some molecule of sentient thought when deciding to call into check the character of another human.

This is LIBEL, Anonymous, and if it were up to me, I'd sue. If I can talk Rich into handling over your IP address, I certainly will sue.

To recap the headline, I would still like to sock Anonymous in the face.

"Libel involves the making of defamatory statements in a printed or fixed medium, such as a magazine or newspaper.

Typically, the elements of a cause of action for defamation include:

1. A false and defamatory statement concerning another;
2. The unprivileged publication of the statement to a third party (that is, somebody other than the person defamed by the statement);
3. If the defamatory matter is of public concern, fault amounting at least to negligence on the part of the publisher; and
4. Damage to the plaintiff.

In the context of defamation law, a statement is "published" when it is made to the third party. That term does not mean that the statement has to be in print.

Damages are typically to the reputation of the plaintiff, but depending upon the laws of the jurisdiction it may be enough to establish mental anguish.

Most jurisdictions also recognize "per se" defamation, where the allegations are presumed to cause damage to the plaintiff. Typically, the following may consititute defamation per se:

* Attacks on a person's professional character or standing;
* Allegations that an unmarried person is unchaste;
* Allegations that a person is infected with a sexually transmitted disease;
* Allegations that the person has committed a crime of moral turpitude;

While actions for defamation have their roots in common law, most jurisdictions have now enacted statutes which modify the common law. They may change the elements of the cause of action, limit when an action may be filed, or modify the defenses to an action for defamation. Some may even require that the defendant be given an opportunity to apologize before the plaintiff can seek non-economic damages."

That sums up EXACTLY what Anonymous did on this here blog.
