Lysol abortion: I think these Lysol douche ads go a long way to explain the stories.

abofreka: Perhaps they want Dr. Reffat Kamel Abofreka of Annandale, Virginia.

Frank Robinson was charged with murder in the 1982 abortion death of Jennifer Suddeth. David Benjamin was indicted for murder in the 1993 abortion death of Guadalupe Negron.
