Nadine Dorries MP has to wait a few more hours before she'll learn if her fellow MPs will vote for a lower limit on abortion. Regardless of how MPs vote our belief is that Nadine has already succeeded to a...

Waa, waa, waa . Actually, the claim has never been that Nadine Dorries herself is a religious fundamentalist - but rather that conservative religious groups (some of whom are fundamentalist) are her primary supporters who, at least in part, fund her personal campaign activity against the abortion week limit. None of that is in any way in dispute: Dorries herself recognised the...

David Modell (the man who once captured the Hamiltons' marriage in a single photograph) has well and truly got the goods on the Christian fundamentalist movement here in the UK, and I invite you to catch the entire documentary on...

Kira Cochrane 's interview feature in the G2 does a great job of bringing the genuine and worrying questions about Nadine Dorries' attitudes toward abortion to a wider audience. You should go and read the whole thing , but I want to pull out a few paragraphs which inform the things we've learnt about Dorries' campaign over the last few months. Cochrane picks up on Dorries'...

–Even Europe, it seems, is not immune from a new rash of social conservatism in governments. It is a shame that this debate has to keep being won by the Left every couple of years.

Many of you may be familiar with Nadine Dorries , the Conservative MP from the UK who is leading the fight to lower the abortion limit from 24 weeks to 20 weeks. It seems that a number of people are not happy with her, and have resorted to intimidation. She cites her experience in assisting at a late-term abortion as the motivation behind her fight against it. I guess I knew when watching...

Consistency is not really her strong point, Bookdrunk said yesterday when Unity blogged the amendments Tory MPs are proposing to the HFE Bill. There's Mr Edward Leigh supporting amendments to reduc the limit to 12, 14 or 16 weeks and there's Nadine Dorries supporting reducing the limit to 20 weeks and 16 weeks! Is she not conviced by her own arguments? But you see, that isn't her ultimate...

Nadine Dorries is MP for Mid Bedfordshire and is author of a popular blog. She writes today about her cross-party campaign to reduce the upper limit for abortion from 24 weeks to 20 weeks. I have 20 reasons why I...

Over at Liberal Conspiracy (still love that name!) Sunny and the crew are taking on MP Nadine Dorries and her devious campaign to end a woman's right to choose. LC has been running a week of some slightly lengthy but very well put together research covering her ‘campaign’ and her idiotic responses to the counter arguments [...]

Good headline don't you think? Sunny Hundal does for Dorries' Hoax Science , Unity at Ministry of Truth does for her bunked up statistical claims , her dark comedy routines , and her claims of intimidation . Oh yes, and her twaddle on the margin of error . Can anyone tell me how Nadine Dorries ever came to become a PPC and an MP when eminently sane and honest and intelligent candidates...

On March 19th Nadine Dorries MP published a blog-post titled The Hand of Hope, which featured this image of a small hand apparently coming out of a uterus. Except, it was a hoax and the operating surgeon himself said so. In many ways, this sums up Nadine Dorries MP's current campaign on abortion - the facts are rather very different from the impression she gives.

Bolder than expected, but sadly inevitable... Nadine Dorries' most recent 'blog' entry, reproduced here in all its textual glory for two reasons: a) Her permalinks don't work b) I suspect she may one day delete this (as she has other...

A week ago Nadine Dorries launched the 20 weeks Campaign through the Daily Mail, which wrote up this glowing story and dedicated its editorial comment strip to supporting it. The 20 Weeks website has Nadine Dorries MP’s picture on every page and she has promoted it relentlessly through her blog. So we can reasonably assume [...]

“Antediluvian” That's how John Bercow, the Conservative Member for Buckingham described members, (inc me) who wants to reform the abortion law. He also used words such as prejudiced. Antediluvian isn't a word you hear much on the housing estates across Britain, so I had to ask what it meant. Before a flood apparently. So, I’m an antediluvian, as is [...]
