If she wants it covered by the tax payer then no she shouldnt get it.

I can understand if she'd want the pregnancy terminated earlier, occupational risk I suppose.. but 4 months in, no.

If she truly wants an abortion for some short-lived fame, lock her up, she's not sound of mind then.


And dear god, what man considers this attractive in any way?

Somebody tell her to quit smoking & drop the tanning bed, she looks ancient compared to her actual age.
Gotta admit, I find her attractive. And not only because I've been involuntarily celibate for about three years.
You are a braver man than me, I've been involuntarily celibate for about 7 years and I wouldn't touch her if I was wearing a disaster suit.
Me neither, honestly.

I'd take the suit off first.

It annoys me more that taxpayers money is apparently paying for something superfluous in a time when the NHS is complaining about lacking money and proposing to close or scale back hospitals in many areas.

The tabloids don't tend to report it so much, but she was actually born with a condition that means that she never developed any breast tissue. She may well have wanted the breast surgery to become a glamour model, but it's not like she didn't have a compelling medical reason to convince the NHS to carry out the procedure.

Call me a sucker then cus I'm more annoyed at the subject matter. I don't think the media had to go to much effort to spin this the way they wanted; if the underlying truth is that she is willing to murder her child for 15 minutes of fame then that is monstrous and it will get a reaction out of me. I pray no doctor will actually do it for her, especially since she's so far into her pregnancy.
While her way of saying it was rather....crass, I'm inclined to not be to angry at her for wanting an abortion, she already has 2 children, not wanting another child is a perfectly acceptable reason to have an abortion. It's not going to be fair on her or the child by refusing to give her an abortion. By UK law, she's still got 6 weeks before she can't have it. Perhaps she changed her mind, or only found out recently?

We don't know all the facts, but berating someone for not wanting to have another child, regardless of the reason is a bit unfair, if anything this is /much/ more responsible, I mean I can't imagine she makes /that/ much money, she may be comfortably be able to provide for two children but not 3. The Sun is fairly manipulative, especially with that headline despite the fact she doesn't actually say anything like that.

Well I suspect if nothing else she would be a pretty stellar shag. Not for me, she looks like a characature of a prostitute in that picture, she actually looks quite sweet in the picture of her in the green dress though. Naked Lipstick creeps me out, I think it makes you look ill. There should be a blood flow in the lips ><

Oh well that would've been nice to know. The NHS boob job was the only bit that actually annoyed me about /her/, even then it would be less her fault and more the guy in charge actually saying "Yes we'll give you a boob job". I mean the story is clearly written as a smear piece, but that makes it even more so. I mean the way the story was presented was what annoyed me, as it was clearly just singling someone out for something people do all the time. Like I said above, the way she said it was a bit crass, but people have abortions for career reasons quite normally.

Ah fair enough then, if its for a medical reason then that is different and I won't hold it against her.

I agree with pretty much everything you said . Wether or not you agree with her decision it is not our responsibility to decide especially since we dont have all the facts and the ones we have are somewhat skewed.

Im pretty sure if a young professional such as a lawyer had an abortion to further her career then the papers would be singing her praise saying how strong and independent she is

this is exactly whyi said I was annoyed a) by the way this was covered (and why it was even covered in the first place), b) the reactions of joe public who suddenly become judge judy and executioner with little to no facts

there was a pretty famous prostitute about 2000 years ago who was condemned by her peers until a very famous guy came along and said "he who is without sin may cast the first stone". Im not saying this actually happened (im an atheist) but the message of the story is pretty relevant

I had to watch BB for an entire week in high school. Bleh.
What sort of hellish course makes its students do that? o_O I remember an old teacher of mine talking about it years ago in front of the class. I looked up the show to figure out what she was talking about and was horrified that she would even consider it a fit subject for discussion in front of her students.

Damn it, I knew it. I absolutely hate "newspapers" like that.

Aye, you're most likely right there with the lawyer thing. To expand on your point, what makes that even more interesting, is that a lawyer would presumably be the one in a better position to support children; a lawyer is a respectable, well paid job, she'd likely be praised for her "noble sacrifice" if she did have the child.

This woman on the other hand is prostitute, a well paid one I'm guessing, but a prostitute none the less, many women in her position or of lower/working class, get shit thrown at them no end for having children that they can't support or don't really "want" and then living on benefits for the rest of their days. Instead she's said "no fuck it, I'm not having another child, I already have 2, and I don't want another one anyway". Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If she genuinely enjoys what she does, which she seems to do, and her kids are looked after, whats the big hoo har? She's being extremely responsible here, she doesn't deserve flak for it.

I mean fuck me, we had a couple of 12 and 13 who had a child last week, yet I saw no shit slinging there, and the parents were even "proud of her" with them stating "they're very much in love, they've been dating for a year now, so we know it's going to last." Why's everyone so hateful to this woman for actually doing the right thing?

Did you notice how the tone of her face dosen't match the rest of her body's skin tone?

To the OP steer clear of the red top tabloids!
Especially the sun or as I call it the scum.

I don't think these papers even report news, they just hound 'celebrities' for information nobody cares to hear.

English...we were doing The Truman Show, and BB had just started in Australia.

So I seen this article shared on facebook and it really irritated me. Its basically about a girl who got a boob job free on the NHS and now shes pregnant she wants an abortion so she can appear on a dreadful reality tv program

Im not irritated at the subject matter of the article but how it was reported.

a)This girl has nothing to do with me and her life is completely irrelevant to mine. Why should I care about what she wants to do with her unborn child. Thats for medical and legal experts to decide.

b) this is sensationslist journalism designed to get a reaction. How am I supposed to know that this tabloid hasnt edited the interview and taken it out of context

c) if she is getting an abortion just to be famous then why react to this article and give her the publicity she is craving

Im not condoning what she is doing but I just dont care. Its not my decision if she is allowed an abortion or not. I was just pissed off at all the people who are quick to judge and have fallen for this type of "journalism"

/rant

What do you guys think about this sort of sensationslism in media? Why does the media let their readers condemn these people yet at the same time let their readers give her the attention she desires?
Why are you reading something that is irrelevant to your life and you don't care about anyway? Just ignore it, that's really the only thing you can do.

That being said, I can see how this whole thing pisses a lot of people off, considering she used taxpayer money to get a boob-job and other plastic surgery, and now wants to abort a child for no other reason than "I can use this to get famous".

I can kind of understand her wanting to become famous and enjoy all of the things that come with it, what i can't understand is why people are interested in that 'reality' crap.

As for the article, well they will pretty much write anything to lure in the readers. If i was to take news seriously then i would have stockpiled a shitload of canned food and would be waiting for Russians to invade us for fuck knows what reason.
