Apparently I have "exhaustion". *laughs insanely*
First, I ate bread today. That was kinda awesome, of the sundried tomato variety.
(I can be excited, okay? good.)
Second, I actually got to DANCE. YAY!
Third, I cannot seem to punch eyelet holes in the corset.
How much fail is a corset the doesn't lace, I ask.
HOW MUCH FAIL.
Further, how can any fertile (or previously fertile) female contemplate NOT being pro-choice.
Contemplate abortion being a criminal act.
A young girl should not be a criminal because she wants her rapist's child aborted in a late stage.
Anyone who doesn't want a child shouldn't have to be having one.
I'm also of the opinion that 24 weeks is well enough.
But I also see a way to appease the pro-lifers here. Why not incubate the aborted foetus, because usually they can be 'saved' or 'brought to full term' after about 30 weeks. Course, medical technology advances might make that far fewer weeks in the future. So, fish tank the baby for someone who wants it. No more IVF... no more sad infertile couples... just like adoption! Then let the pro-lifers deal with the kid. Medical costs, child rearing, feeding+clothing+sheltering... but you said you didn't want them dead, right? Now go away and look after all the little people who are not-really-born yet, pro-lifers. And have fun.
It also makes the biological mother not a murderer. And that can be good for the soul. Or the conscience.

Also, I agree. Except that the complications for an early-inducement pregnancy are pretty significant, and the cost are astronomical, so practically, it's a bit tricky.

And thank-ye for the advice - usually I'd take it, except that the cutting tools I've got require a sharp blade and the force of a hammer - cannot stick scissors through the reinforcement!
