Heidi’s heartbreak

a Sad moment at the High court this week when Heidi crowter, 26, lost her bid to overturn a cruel law that allows babies with down’s Syndrome to be aborted at any time up until birth.

Heidi, who has down’s herself, wept on hearing the verdict and vowed to fight on.

I’m not sure which is more tragic: the despair of this beautiful, articulate young woman, or the callousness of a law that would deny her and so many others the right to live full, passionate lives.

ATTACKING new laws in Texas that ban most abortions from six weeks after conception, actress Uma Thurman tells of the termination she had as a teenager after she was ‘accidentally impregnated by a much older man’.

Brave of her to speak out, yet I’m still scratching my head over how anyone gets ‘accidentally impregnated’.

It’s sex, honey, not losing your specs.

MUCH excitement at the Ryder Cup as Team Europe’s golf wives are buffed up like contestants for a kind of old-style Mrs World contest. Hard to imagine another sport where the Wags suffer such humiliation, though perhaps not surprising for one where players talk, unironically, about trying for a ‘birdie’.
