I don't know anything about Stef Groenewoud, but if it appears in Townhall, a somewhat insane right wing rag, my immediate reaction was to skip the quote and read on.

ter Beek's story is tragic, but it was a 3 year process so I feel like she did her best there. Tough call, but most countries are probably not equipped to handle that level of legalization well.

Great and well researched story!
