| I suspect another cunning plot from our government. Jeremy Hunt calls for no abortions after 12 weeks on purpose, because he knows it's such a ghastly, bonkers idea that Maria Miller's and Nadine Dorries' desire for no abortions after 20 weeks, if you ignore science and what pregnant women want, sounds comparatively reasonable, and you might, in a panic, vote for these creatures. | I suspect another cunning plot from our government.

| That is if you want more unwanted children around. I would have thought we have enough already. There are loads of them starving away, neglected, orphaned, wandering around the streets and rubbish tips of the world. Why can't Hunt, with his Christian values, concern himself with these unfortunates? I know many of them live abroad, and charity begins at home, but I thought the world was now meant to be a global village. | That is if you want more unwanted children around.

| Anyway, we've already got people starving here, queuing up for free food. A baby starved to death last week in Westminster. His mother was sick and destitute. Women for Refugee Women could probably find you some more examples, and who knows, with a few more years of benefits cuts, we'll probably have hungry, grubby children scrabbling over landfill sites and dumps to survive, just as they do in other less fortunate countries. | Anyway, we've already got people starving here, queuing up for free food.

| This Thursday, the charity Small Steps Project will be auctioning swanky celebrity shoes to raise money for children living on filthy, stinking distant dumps who have no shoes at all. Or enough food, clothing, shelter or schooling. All right, I own up. It's my daughter's charity, but once you realise how many children everywhere need help, it seems more sensible to concentrate our efforts on the ones we've got already, rather than the ones who are barely here. | This Thursday, the charity Small Steps Project will be auctioning swanky celebrity shoes to raise money for children living on filthy, stinking distant dumps who have no shoes at all.

| But Hunt is unlikely to do that. He's just another man from the dark ages, obsessed with a silly idea, who doesn't know what he's talking about, but is still telling women what to do. In a sane world, we could ignore him, but we can't, because he's in charge. Of health. Heaven help us all. I like to have a laugh, but I can't. | But Hunt is unlikely to do that.
