Toni Vernelli thinks babies are not very eco-friendly. She doesn't want to kill the planet but killing a baby seems to be okay. Still, she's going to get some cultural flak for having an abortion because she thinks children are bad for the environment, and appearing in a news article despite that takes some courage.
She felt so strongly about not having a baby she wanted to be sterilized after the abortion - and was. Thankfully, it took her a while to find a doctor so ethically suspect he was willing to sterilize her when she is clearly teetering on the edge of madness - so avoid that doctor in Brighton who advertises himself as "forward-thinking". Unsurprisingly, she works for an environmental charity and we can assume she does not vote Tory.
"Sarah and I don't need children to feel complete. What makes us happy is knowing that we are doing our bit to save our precious planet," says her husband. I always like the smarmy condescension of people who make a non-evidence-based lifestyle choice and then insist there is a psychological flaw in people who don't choose it.
