One of the biggest rows in US politics last year was really to do with the appointment of a pro life Supreme Court Justice. There are pro and anti marches with thousands of participants on an almost monthly basis. You realise over 700000 people voted against abortion and they’re not going to go away?

I don't believe outside hospitals or GP surgeries are the places to do it. It's not about protest, it's about disrupting services and intimidating service users. The sooner we have exclusion zones the better.

Did not Tom Ford state during the week that all men should be “penetrated” at least once in their lives so they know what it’s like. Above find Sara supporting a movement currently gaining momentum that demands mandatory vasectomies for all straight men. They’re just not sure wether it should commence in high school or college...
