Dear Nadine Dorries.
I thought I should write to you following my girlfriend Kate's letter to you earlier today, I really hope you have read it as it is fabulous and I wanted to give you more information on my uterus.
My uterus and I have always been such good friends, I mean I really love her she is ace but I we had a slight blip when I was 18 when she got really cross, exploded and tried to poisen me. I had a cyst on my right fallopian tube that burst causing me huge amounts of pain and suffering, when I arrived in hospital the doctor's thought it was my appendix that had burst rushing me into surgery. Unfortunately whilst I was being prepped victims of a car accident took priority for surgery and I had to wait for nearly 30 hours to be operated on. I had key hole surgery in which I had incision through my navel and in my groin for multiple instruments to chop out what ever was wrong and hoover out all the gunk from my burst cyst that they found. My appendix is fine and still firmly in place and I'm glad as the surgeon said he might not have been able to match up my tattoo! From the cyst bursting and having to wait forever for my operation I developed pelvic inflammatory disease which is not pleasant.
The thing that really fustrates me Nadine is that after I had been in hospital for a week recovering and the Doctor came to see be before I was discharged to explain things to me he said that normally in this situation they would test the fertility of the patient as damage could have been done to the reproductive organs. But he said that there was no point in me having one, why? Because I'm a lesbian. The Doctor assumed that because I was and 18 year old lesbian I wouldn't be having children so he didn't bother getting my fertility tested. As I was high as a kite on a multitude of pain killers and really wanting to go home to my own bed it did not cross my mind to question him or get into a long conversation of what I was planning to do with my uterus in the future.
Now I am 24 and in a very happy commited relationship with the lovely Kate and its going great. We have spoken about having children on many occasions and I know you don't like our sort reproducing Nadine but I have the exact same right as you to have a family with the person I choose and we would make fantastic parents. It would not happen any time soon as we are both at the start of really promising careers and feel we have things we need to experience before we bring a child into the world. It really scares me to think about what Kate and I are going to have to go through when we finally decide to go for it in what ever avenue we choose to take as people like you seem to do what ever they can to make it difficult for couples like us to be able to have their own families. Not only are we going to have to spend a hell of a lot of money and deal with a whole lot of crap about being lesbian parents I can still not rule out that we may need to have an abortion. The health, wellbeing and enjoyment of the childs life will always come far above our own wants and desires to be parents and if an abortion is needed I would like to be able to make that decision for the good of myself, my family and that child without being made to feel guilty.
So finally Nadine I hope you have enjoyed our letters as you are obsessed with telling women what to do with their bits. I hope your uterus has a good life and that you arnt made to feel like the devil if it ever makes a mistake.
Please keep your opinions away from my vagina.
Love you long time
Loran - not your biggest fan.
