Hopefully my rant made sense.
I also should make note that I tried to place the ultrasound machine in a manner that Star could see it and Brianna couldn't due to my feelings on mandatory showing of ultragram pictures. hopefully that came across.

maybe i'll get the other major change in addition to the links too, but that one's a bit more involved.

I'm also planning on changing Star's hair color with each storyline, probably eventually rotating back to the red I introduced her with once I run out of colors.

i saw an article discussing new research saying that the gender of a pregnancy could be determined as early as seven weeks.
meanwhile there are several sex selection methods with the ericsson method of separating sperm by their genders the one i was referring to. unfortunately none of these methods have a one hundred percent accuracy rate (the ericsson method is about 70% for each gender though he claims it's better suited for boys). many of these methods are also unrealistically expensive, but checking for gender at seven weeks is probably also not free. likewise in areas where sex-selective abortion becomes an issue, theorhetically they could outlaw the revelation of gender by sonogram as most laymen wouldn't be able to tell from such an image and i don't actually feel it's information an expectant parent needs to know unlike potential health risks such as spina bifida. knowing the gender is really just a convenience in my view, and if people are going to abuse it, then i think an argument can be made to take the convenience away (it'd just be unfortunate for the people who don't care about gender being forced to double the list of potential baby names and stall other gender related decisions).

I can't say the word communication without hearing Dr. Walsh say "it's about communication" from the BTVS episode "Hush."
...which I guess touches on similar themes.

Anyone have other ideas for what not to get a woman when she's contemplating abortion?

wow, i hadn't heard of this in the us. i think it's pretty disgusting that gender could be a dealbreaker in whether to abort or not abort, especially considering the technology exists to predetermine gender with artificial insemination, but i think i've been clear i don't think a woman NEEDS a reason to abort. i'm just disgusted someone would actively declare this as a reason.

Blerg!
Though I guess discussion of that article's more appropriate for the political section.
