Dutch journalist threatened with torture, death following letter condemning abortion

Dutch journalist threatened with torture, death following letter condemning abortion Catholic bishop Everard de Jong sent fetal models to members of the Dutch House of Representatives with a letter asking them to defund abortion clinics. Rep. Jeannine Hennis-Plasschaert objected, saying the letter was "disgusting." Journalist Mariska Orban de Haas wrote an open letter in defense of the bishop, saying the model resembled a baby at the age of the one she'd miscarried. Why is that "disgusting"?

Her letter sparked outrage in the Netherlands. She issued an apology, but still received angry responses, including death threats.
