We’d all survive if Twitter shut down for a short while during major riots. Social media isn’t any more important than a train station, a road or a bus service.

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. I would be virulently pro-choice if I didn’t believe it to be a person. Louise Mensch Read Quote

Menshn is a play on the word mention, and in the U.S. that’s how it’ll be perceived. Like Tumblr or Flickr. People in the U.K. thought that I’d named it after myself. Louise Mensch Read Quote
Once you are a proper, serious law-maker, you can’t break the laws you’re writing. Louise Mensch Read Quote
