Twitter bears out the WW1 joke. Message sent: Send reinforcements, we're going to advance. Message received: Send three and fourpence, we're going to a dance.
I dont think being overly emotional is particularly helpful when it comes to matters of the law but for the first time since becoming an MP I am genuinely sad about what parliament has done. I am sad because I know what the consequences will be. I am sad because I know nervous first time parents might give way to doubt and opt out of parenthood and how the reality of that means they'll be denied the greatest gift life will ever give them and instead inherit a life of monstrous guilt. I am sad because, now, healthy babies will be destroyed. I am really sorry that the UK has legalised full term abortion. For what it's worth, I voted NO. I am going to squeeze my children a little tighter and thank the universe a little more than normal this morning. You cannot become unpregnant. You just become the parent of a child you killed. That is the reality of life. We must face it. My babies.
An American woman loses both parents and goes through their Social Security records. They paid in for DECADES — nearly $1,000,000 combined. Her dad died before collecting a CENT. Her mom only received about $32,000 a year for four years. That’s not a safety net. It's a SCAM.
