text: name slander!? name slander!? ok here is the scoop long story short. my friends x-girlfriend got pregnant by him,she wanted an abortion,so she got an abortion.she later regrets having the abortion ,she wished that she would have kept the baby.people ask of why the two broke up,he says because she had an abortion,"she aborted his child",so he broke it off.being that she regrets it,when people ask her what happened in the relationship for them two to break up,she is telling everyone that he pushed her down a flight of stairs and she had a mis-carriage.saying that he killed the child when this never took place.there is proof she had an abortion(medical records).the boyfriend owns a local business in town,which may hurt his reputation.is this name slander,can it be taken to court.  i do not want to here how he put her name out there,if it is fact,then it is truth,and truth is not "name slander".if she is saying he pushed her down stairs and caused the death of their child then that life in prison! yes it is......he needs to get a lawyer and take her to court good luck it is also defamation of character
