An anonymous commenter found an old post of mine from August 2006 and left this articulate gem for me:
Is this blog being written from some weird 1980s wormhole? (Yes. Quite possibly.)
You should get out more (No, thanks) - the world (Did you really mean world? Or worm?)has turned for Dawn and her 'alternative' ie multi-millionaire celeb playmates, who all succeeded in a left-wing BBC hegemony in which they were all complicit. (A somewhat tautological sentence but I get your drift and I agree a little bit, but I still love seeing women comics on the telly.)
Your views really are bizarrely quaint (Why thank you!)and uninformed (Are they really, or are you just being a bit snarky?),and as for that creepy ragdoll ... (Well, now you're just being personal...)
Hee!

But of Course!
The National Right to Life Committee doesn't support SCHIP*! How completely unsurprising! What a non-story. Is ANYBODY shocked that an anti-woman, anti-choice group doesn't actually appear to give a shit about the foetus once it pops out of the host?
Forced to continue a pregnancy? Compelled to give birth to a child you can't afford and can't care for? Child sick and in need of affordable medical insurance? Tough titties! The National Right to Life Committee have done their bit. They only want to know when there's someone else's uterus involved. After that you're on your own.
*For those of us Brits who don't know, SCHIP is a US initiative: the State Children's Health Insurance Program, providing low cost health insurance for Families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but can't afford private insurance.
According to the website: Families that do not currently have health insurance are likely to be eligible, even if you are working. The states have different eligibility rules, but in most states, uninsured children under the age of 19, whose families earn up to $36,200 a year (for a family of four) are eligible. For little or no cost, this insurance pays for:
doctor visits
immunizations
hospitalizations
emergency room visits
