May. 3rd, 2007 03:35 pmMay 3rd is going to be birthday card-tastic from now on, since not ony is it ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ianchode and Cousin Danielle's birthday, but my friends Karen and Dan had their twins today! Welcome to the world Riley and Brandon! They're still Livin' In A Box cause they were a few weeks prem, but apparently they're doing well.
A horrible story from Ireland serving as a reminder why we should continue to defend our right to terminate our pregnancies... because it's usually the most vulnerable girls and women who are the worst affected by abortion bans. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6618911.stm The logic of this infuriates me - both that, it seems, this girl can't go to the UK to get it done because she's still a child, but is, apparently, still old enough to be made to carry and give birth to a severley disabled baby and then watch it die, and also that the only get out clause seems to be to be suicidal. God knows how many women that law's driven to attempt or succeed in suicide as 'the only way out'. But then, I suppose rich, powerful men do know what's right for us girlies at the end of the day, don't they?
Oh, and I got annoyed in Boots today (the queue for the tills goes past a line of Womens' Mags - Heat, OK, Take A Break etc etc.) Not only is Jordan pimping her poor disabled kid's 'heartbreaking struggle' AGAIN, now she has a poorly Husband to flog as well. What tragedy! What Courage! It must be taking every ounce of her strength to get out of bed, call her publicist and sell her story to the gossip rags of a morning. She is such a wonderful wife and mother. And those fucking foul chav whores who made their toddlers fight and filmed it for shits and giggles http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/devon/6366255.stm were on the front of one of these damn magazines. Yeah, cause giving them the 15 minutes of fame that everybody seems to want to get these days no matter what for doesn't condone their behaviour at all. Please God tell me they weren't paid for re-iterating to the nation what pondscum they are or I might have to go on a killing spree.
