Very gut wrenching report. There is so much political value in arguing over the issue that we sometimes lose sight of the simple fact that the parents are experiencing loss and that it can be devastating.

Thanks for trying to move the thread on to new topics. That particular one isn't one I have much to say on, but let's try to see whether we can't move on from the Mojo issue, which has really morphed into fighting about who said what about who said what about who said what about Mojo.

Did I post this link to a Washington Supreme Court case that came down today?

Very interesting issues, and happen a lot, about what to do when teenagers of divorced parents decide to exercise their teenagereness and resist visiting the nonresident parent. Should we force them to against their wills? And what about the parent who takes a little resistance and for their own purposes feeds it into open rebellion instead of being pragmatic and just saying, like going to the dentist, you may not like it, but you have to do it, so you might as well be positive about it.

Though doctors say nearly one-quarter of all pregnancies end in miscarriage

I didn't know it was quite that high.

My mother did have a couple of miscarriages but then she had 11 live births and her last child was born when she was 42 going on 43.
