		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a new year, and I hope it&#8217;s a good one for you. The Tory-led coalition&#8217;s cuts are starting to bite now. Thousands of jobs are going in local councils, and soon we&#8217;ll be noticing the services going. In our local area the visiting music teachers are being cut from schools. If these aren&#8217;t front [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laptopmums.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11801550&amp;post=663&amp;subd=laptopmums&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The Science is Vital campaign is encouraging everyone who cares about science to contact their MP, sign their petition, attend the demo, or lobby parliament. Therefore, on 15th September I duly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laptopmums.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11801550&amp;post=651&amp;subd=laptopmums&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It is easy to glibly condemn the sexualisation of children, without understanding the myriad reasons that the pill may actually be prescribed, including PCOS, acne, and painful periods.
