- Sorry Paul. We women in this group are used to being called bitter.
- Say what you mean. What you mean is Muriel doesn't agree with you and
- doesn't know her place.

- When men get pregnant, then they have a right to make their own decisions
- about whether or not they wish to continue a pregnancy. They have no

- Thank you for making it clear that the life of a three day old z/e/f is

- X-ray vision, only.
