Your essays keep me sane! I really hope there will be more videos. You really are a voice in the darkness.

My man happened across a print out of your piece on Roe and declared how great it was and why wasn’t it published on Spiked??? It really was good. I once disrupted the opening of Parliament with 928 red ballot that read “women need abortion rights” when they were slated to be cut back, and *I* am disgusted with the pro-choice movement in the US. They have nothing but contempt for ordinary people. I have met people who work for NARAL who have never met anyone who disagrees with abortion. Not one! I cut my teeth on these discussions. I lived through the era of the fetus feet lapel pin. Fifty years and it never occurred to anyone to do more than bureaucratic maneuvering.

Sorry to get started. It’s just I love your stuff because it gives voice to things I thing about too. And you do it so well.

Thank you! And you can tell your husband that Spiked passed on publishing it, which was probably a good thing as I would have gotten so much hate. 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, those death threats are less ho hum in practice than they are in theory.
