By choosing to focus of the scientific evidence relating to abortion as the central plank of its deliberations on changes to the existing abortion laws parliament has, unintentionally I’m sure, created a ready market for ill-informed and idiotic op-ed articles in the dead tree press, and with the Telegraph and Daily Mail having taken a [...]

Today, two very different but inextricably linked news stories caught my eye.
In the first, I find (via The f-word) that Nadine Dorries has tabled another amendment to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill that would, if accepted, reduce the upper time limit for abortions to twenty weeks. Dorries is seemingly taking a leaf out of [...]

Today sees the release of the latest set of abortion statistics by the Department of Health and, naturally enough, this has brought Nadine Dorries and other pro-lifers crawling out of the woodwork, once again, to tell us all that the sky is still falling.
The headline figure is that the overall number of abortions is up, [...]

I promised you all another venture in the realms of MadNaddery and here it is…
First of all, to pick up the weekend’s events let me direct you to Bookdrunk who’s nicely covered all the relevant ground vis-a-vis the bullshit that’s appeared in the Daily Mail over the weekend…
nadine dorries: age shall not wither her (problem [...]

Yes, its time for part two of my own look at the abortion debate as it played out in parliament, and time to get around to the ‘contribution’ of Nadine Dorries.
As our starting point we’ll take what Dave Cole has suggested will become the leitmotif for the entire debate, Dawn Primarolo’s withering assessment of Dorries’ [...]

A much more sentimental character that your humble scribe might feel some sympathy for Nadine Dorries.  I’m sure she set out on her little crusade to restrict legal access to abortion full of optimism and here we are on the big day of the vote and what has she actually achieved?
A few puff pieces in [...]

I did wonder whether Iain Dale would have the bottle to stick his own head above the parapet on the HF&E bill, and particularly on the abortion-related amendments, as he certainly can’t be unaware of the pounding that his theatre-going mate, Nadine Dorries, has taken over the last couple of weeks.
And when he does come [...]

As I write this, there’s less than 24 hours to go before the abortion-related amendments to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill are debated and a touch over 24 hours to go before they’re put to the vote.
Is there, i wonder, anything more that I can say on the subject that hasn’t already been said?
Well, [...]

Time for another episode of ‘Debunking Dorries’ in which your genial host – me – takes a look at some the claims made by Nadine Dorries in support of her campaign for greater restrictions on access to legal abortion…
…and then takes them apart.
And for your delight and delectation, its two for one night on Debunking [...]

After all the lies, smears and misinformation, I am seriously beginning to wonder whether Nadine Dorries is beginning to implode.
Her latest round of bullshit is, perhaps, the most blatantly stupid thing I’ve ever seen.
Over at the Cornerstone blog, Dorries has shipped up to have short bitch at John Bercow for labelling her as ‘antediluvian’ before [...]
