A Range Of Opinions

Right-wing rubbish paper The Daily Mail has found space between the usual rants about asylum seekers and the horrors of the EU to publish this fairly standard piece about how abortion is deeply wrong and Miranda Sawyer used to be pro-choice but now she's changed her mind. Of course we here ar Cru-blog are used to such misogynist nonsense at the Daily Mail and take no notice. We prefer to read something high-brow, pro-feminist and left-wing like The Guardian. Who have run with an article about how abortion is deeply wrong and Miranda Sawyer used to be pro-choice but now she's changed her mind...

And whole chunks of the articles are exactly the same, whole paragraphs. Andthe articles, both of them, are pushing a documentary about the same subject shortly to be screened on TV.

Well I used to be pro-choice and I still am. I would put up a neat refutal of all Ms Sawyers arguements but she doesn't actually seem to have any. She says she spoke to people on both sides and it was hard for her to decide but in the end she decided she was anti-abortion. Needless to say she did her extensive research (1) in the deep south of the US and (2) while on a trip away from her infant son, just to make sure she was feeling irrationally emotional about children at the time. Seriously, and two papers and a TV station are publishing her piffle.
