New York real-estate scion Robert Durst - who long has stonewalled questions about his wife's mysterious disappearance in 1982 - forced her to get an abortion in the mid-1970s, her brother claims.

KOTA KINABALU: A farmer, who disfigured his girlfriend by pouring acid on her in a bid to abort their child last September, was jailed 15 years by the Sessions Court.
In the aftermath of his girlfriend's abortion, 27-year-old Chikel Dorisme stabbed Cara Beth Policelli to death in a Tampa General Hospital parking garage on March 2, and eventually killed himself in prison.
Women who refuse to abort may face beatings, threats, and even assault and death -- right here in the United States.
