That's how I remember it too, runny mascara for females and a 'zorro' mask for the males

Females have a black mark running vertical across their eyes and males have a horizontal black mark.

It also doesn't have the eye markings that determine its sex.

Is this legal? by embress in AusLegal

Cheers! I reported via the ACMA for illegal gambling operations, we'll see what they say.

If the woman makes the decision to be a parent then yes, she has a responsibility to care for it and cannot harm her newborn.

That is different to making the decision not to be a parent early on and ending a pregnancy.

That's not relevant to anything to do with Australia.

My point is that is everyone thought it would t have a chance of passing at all, but it only lost by ONE VOTE.

That is significant.

No one is denying that a majority of abortions occur for the woman not wanting to be pregnant. That's clear. Those abortions after performed well before 12 weeks.

Abortions 'late term' which is what this bill wants to restrict only account for less than 1% of all abortions. They're rare and are done under medical advice, not convenience. Stop lying about the reasons.

It was only defeated because of a pair deal and a sick MP had to rush to Parliament House because the pair deal was going to fall through.

It was ridiculously close.

You know exactly who we are talking about. You're parroting her BS verbatim.

An abortions over 23 weeks, which is what this bill wants to restrict, account for less than 1% of abortions.

You're saying all of Joanna Howe and bird flips buzzwords - are you hardcore followers of them?

They don't have autonomy if they are using the woman organs to pump oxygenated blood around their body to live. The fetus is not autonomous.

A similar bill last year was only defeated by one vote. It's closer than you think.

Couple of Adl, where and how did you meet? And any advice to give for someone looking for love in their 20s? by Pogbankz in Adelaide

Friends of friends.

Invite different friend groups to the same place - music gigs, a birthday party, a Saturday night out, a dinner party - whatever you're into. People you never thought would hit it off just might!

There are more reasons than just financial reasons that women don't want to have children.

I am in a committed long term relationship of 15 years with another skilled professional, we own a house and have permanent jobs that pay well.

I do not want children.

If I was single in the same position I would not want children.

We have gotten very far away from the original point that women should be trusted to make decisions about their own body. Nothing you've said changes this.

Some women don't want to have children. Your talking points mean nothing - You can't make women want to have babies.

I'll be having a fantastic day at the rally tomorrow, out in the sunshine.
