What irritates me is that this fertile has made it all about HER. Some women ARE smug and do act as though the world should fall at their feet because they are "with child." if thats not her, then she shouldn't feel victimised (!) and all het up.

Its like someone being cut off by a person in a red car and saying "god that bloody idiot in the red car..." and this writer comes along and says "hey I have a red car! How dare they say that about people with red cars!" She has arrogantly made it all about herself.

I was disappointed by the IVM response, only because it sounded apologetic and as though it was soothing Rushby's ruffled feathers. The hurt and anger is valid and should be allowed to be expressed without apology.

Absolutely infuriating. I emailed the editor, made me feel better.
