They discovered that she was 21 weeks pregnant – the result of being raped by her stepfather.” Via Amnesty International’s facebook page Although they concede that the […]
I can’t count the number of times that I’ve seen suggestions that people should be open-minded responded to with the cliché “don’t be so open-minded that your brain falls out”.
