She should be on Toffee TV. She sniffs nearly as much as Ped.
I was waiting for her to put her finger on her nostril and clear her nose on the podium like a scally.
So very stately and ladylike.
But then, at least she remembers who shes been paid (or blackailed) to promote, unlike JLo.

Just watched some of Piers Morgan, Sarah Palin, Medhi Hasan and Destiny debate from the other day
Proper exhausting but somewhat entertaining. That Destiny guy is even faster talking than Ben Shapiro. He should take up an alternate career as some double-time hip hop mc

The problem there is they are only actually pro life up until the baby is born.Fwiw if the pro-life movement in the US wanted to reduce the number of abortions they could do something to address the number one cited reason - financial issues,
Maternity pay is not guaranteed in all US states, heck there are even loopholes on the 12 weeks of unpaid leave theoretically entitled to.
Even with insurance delivery costs are expensive - crippling for anyone without
Having a baby in the US? Hospital, midwife, and delivery costs
Nearly 4 million babies are born in the US each year. If you’re a visitor, tourist, or expat planning to have a child in the US, you’re in for a shock. When...wise.com
To give you some idea of what you might pay, here is a summary of some average costs associated with childbirth. Costs will vary widely depending on your health insurance and even what state you’re in, as well as how your delivery goes:
Maternal mortality is also one of the worst in the developed world, particularly for women of color.
- (No insurance) Total average hospital bill for a regular birth: $30,000
- (No insurance) Total average hospital bill with a c-section: $50,000
- (With insurance) Total average hospital bill for a regular birth: $3,400
- (With insurance) Total average hospital bill with a c-section:$3,400
Why Maternal Mortality Rates Are Getting Worse across the U.S.
A new study shows U.S. maternal mortality rates are increasing, and health care providers and advocacy groups are racing to build better care for new parentswww.scientificamerican.com
Personally I find all of those far more important issues to tackle than trying to police whether someone has a “valid” reason for an abortion.
Sadly not even that, or else they would be concerned with pre birth heath issues such as regular health checkups, maternal nutrition and vaccines.
At about six weeks pregnant, Joshua, 30, called a physicians' group in Baton Rouge. She wanted to make her first prenatal appointment there for around the eight-week mark, as she had in her first pregnancy. But Joshua says the woman on the line told her she was going to have to wait over a month. "They specifically said, 'We now no longer see women until they're at least 12 weeks,'" Joshua recalls. "And I said, 'Oh Lord. Is this because of what I think? And they said, 'Yes.'"
She remembers the woman on the phone saying that since the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and with what the woman called a gray area in Louisiana's law, the group was delaying the first prenatal appointment with patients. Joshua remembers her saying that many women miscarry in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and they didn't want to be liable for an investigation.
Two ways of looking at this: You could argue it's not a strong endorsement coming right at the death - he could have done this yonks ago if he wanted to dramatically influence the result of the election. On the flip side one could argue it has come at just the right time, the night before the election with many millions of undecided voters ready to have their heads turned. His reach and influence cannot be doubted, although he's hardly come out and specifically called for people to go to the polls and vote Trump.
It’s heartbreaking.

Now here's were I completely don't understand them.
It's basically a common sense thing, if a pregnant woman sees a scan - even if it's in the very early stages, then she is simply statistically less likely to terminate the pregnancy.
So why the flying 'f' do something as downright retarded as not trying to maximise early scans if the goal is to reduce the number of terminations.
Baffling
US anti abortion laws, as currently written, generally do not punish a woman herself for getting an abortion.
In 2016 Trump floated that idea but, even among the “pro-life” crowd it was very unpopular.
Donald Trump: 'There Has To Be Some Form Of Punishment' For Women Who Get Abortions If They Become Illegal
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump believes women who get an abortion should be punished if the procedure ever becomes illegal.

So the laws have been written to target healthcare providers who do abortions. And abortions, as written, can have a very wide range of potential definitions including helping someone who is undergoing a miscarriage in early pregnancy (a sadly very common occurrence).
So to avoid any possible legal entanglements healthcare providers in those states will naturally try to avoid dealing with women until their pregnancy is more secure. This obviously is not great for either maternal or fetal health but is an entirely predictable outcome from the rules as they are written.
A Review of Exceptions in State Abortion Bans: Implications for the Provision of Abortion Services | KFF
This issue brief examines the varying exceptions (for life, health, rape/incest, and fatal fetal anomalies) in state abortion bans and restrictions and the complications that arise when pregnant people attempt to access abortion care under these exceptions.
