“What I enjoy doing is challenging stereotypes of what people believe a Tory must be. You don't have to say every Tory is in it for themselves - it's pathetic caricaturing that has no place in the 21st century, and if we can challenge that stereotype, then great.” PeopleIfsBelieveEnjoyChallengesCenturyBe You21st CenturyStereotypePathetic Author:Louise Mensch

“Your moral stance depends on what you think is being aborted. If you don't believe it to be a person but part of a woman's body, of course you will be pro-choice.
