My position is yes - I disagree with these states. Let's assume the 630,000 abortions reported to the CDC in 2019 is the actual number. That's around 9450 women who (may) need access to abortion as a result of rape/incest. If these women are spread evenly across the 52 states and that there are 13 states which have currently banned without exception. That's 2362 women who won't be able to get an abortion in their state due to rape/incest. (PS, those Guttmacher Institute figures are thought to be over-inflated by a factor of 3, potentially reducing this number to 787.) Regardless of the accuracy of these figures, I support these women. The one's who account for the other > 620,000 , not so much.

Thanks Barry. I was walking to work this morning, listening to Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, (excellently read by Richard Armitage by the way) delivering me pearls of wisdom such as "Your soul takes on the colour of your thoughts" or "The only thing that isn’t worthless: to live this life out truthfully and rightly. And be patient with those who don’t" I suppose I've been looking in the wrong places for wisdom and should seek insight from cultural lyricists, Allen and Rodrigo. "Fuck you. Fuck you very very mu - uh -uch" 🤔 I'll clear my bookshelves.

Thanks for your opinion Barry. I'm assuming you are a male and I'm glad you feel able to express it. I'm of the opinion that abortions should be safe, legal and rare. Rape incest and protecting the life of the mother are my exceptions, although there are some amazing souls out there who are the 'product' of rape, living amazing lives who would beg to differ. Rape is cited as a reason for abortion in around 1% of cases. some statistics have it as low as 0.5% The rest - people ought to take responsibility in the first place, not use it as a monstrous late birth control method. Life is sacred. If you that makes me an extremist in your mind, then I suppose I'm an extremist in your mind. Anyway, that's all I'll say on the matter. Have a pleasant day.

They are screeching and wailing for the rights of unborn babies not to be pulled apart with medical instruments - what's not to like? They are fighting for life, not death. Some states may ban abortion, some states will keep definitely keep abortion. When I carried my twins, I never once considered that they were 'my body', but two separate entities and my role became to protect and nourish them for 9 months (well, it was just over 7 in the end) We have lost our way.

It was also called Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts at one point. I don't get your point, sorry. Perhaps they should rename it Glastonbury-Festival-of-Performing-Arts-and-whatever-the-current-"Thing"-trending-on-Twitter-is-that-we'll-all-forget-about-when-the-next-thing-comes-along. I dunno, it's just my controversial Glastonbury opinion which I thought I'd jot down in the controversial Glastonbury opinions thread.

While I expect some, there was far too much virtue-signalling political bullshit for me - you want to get away and escape this crap, but it's everywhere. Greta? How dare you? Zelensky? Western puppet president, corrupt to the core, has literal Nazi elements fighting for Ukraine Roe v Wade? the most mis-represented decision ever. IT HASN'T BANNED ABORTION. IT HAS PASSED THE DECISION DOWN TO THE (ELECTED) STATE LEVEL. The screeching, wailing tantrums across several stages were pathetic.
