Heterosexual Couples and Civil Partnerships
听Jane Garvey spoke to Rebecca Steinfeld and Charlie Keidan. They are a heterosexual couple who want a civil partnership rather than a marriage. Since civil partnerships were put in place for same sex couples in December 2005 there has been a growing call for the same to be available for heterosexual couples. It is said it is the first time in British history that same-sex couples have had a legal advantage over opposite-sex couples. Tomorrow morning/Today Rebecca and Charlie take their case to the high court. They join Jane to explain why having a civil partnership is so important to them that they are now making a legal challenge to the government to get formal recognition of their relationship in the way they want it.
Things We Couldn鈥檛 Explain
听fifth book,听 Things We Couldn鈥檛 Explain,听 is a comic novel about a young blind girl, AnneMarie living in a small town in the Midwest,听 who discovers she has become pregnant despite never having had sex.听 Soon after the Virgin Mary starts to appear in the sky and AnneMarie鈥檚 home town becomes over-run with tourists, zealots, reporters and touts. Betsy joins Jane to talk about faith in America, miracles, Marian apparitions and the history of virgin births.
