If I'd known about it a day beforehand I'd have been there.

I believe it's usually women who are poked in these circumstances

You've clearly never encountered my generous, child-bearing hips.

You must've thrust them in his general direction before. Perhaps they weren't lit properly. Get some crotch-lights.


Just read Jess McCabe's thoughts on the ideas being debated today (who can get IVF, time limits), it's all summed up rather neatly in the final paragraph:

Given that Lansley is a proponant of cutting the time limit on abortion, it’s interesting, isn’t it, that the same person can be happy to enforce unwanted children on mothers - regardless, presumably, of whether there’s a pater familias - but can’t bare [sic] the thought of women seeking invasive medical treatment just so they can bring a wanted, loved child into the world, just because those women don’t fit his retrograde ideas of what a family should look like.

Um, No. Gestation is calculated from the first day of your last period. So assuming that someone has a 28 day cycle, they would be 4 weeks pregnant on the day their period would be due.

Edit- oops didn't notice Vonnie got in there before me.

Now I know the above is not what you meant literally but it did amuse me to try and work out what TARDIS like properties wummins bits might have that allow foetal time travel...

In other news (Radio 4's PM to be precise) it appears Joe Pasquale had an unplanned pregnancy.

For those who do not listen to such things as wireless's or radio four I shall elucidate by equating this to the Gerry Adams situation.

Ah mmy bad, I was getting confused between actual dates and corrected dates. It's never made sense to me anyway.

HELL YEEEES!. This has me humping my seat with glee.

Really if the image above of the banner.

"Stating 83% of the population" are against the change.

Is it worth celebratin the fact that 18% of the population (or less) managed to get the issue voted on in the first place?
