It's for novels and the pictures. It's not real Jenny. What we can have, that's what's real. A home, a family, a good life together.' 'You think I haven't thought that, tried to make it enough? You are a wonderful man, Jimmy, and I... Everything in my brain is telling me that this is the right thing' 'then what else?' 'my heart wants what it had before.' 'before? What, this...

Your shutting yourself off to everything else because of something you can never have. We could have enough, Jenny.' 'Well for a year, perhaps, before you realised you loved more than I did you. I would hate that. That's why you'll be my friend but never my soulmate. And we both deserve soulmates.

If women lose the right to say where and how they birth their children, then they will have lost something that's as dear to life as breathing.
