how conservative is it to denigrate someone who does have the resources to do this, for doing so, by complaining that not everyone has the financial capability. not very. she is raising the awareness of these diseases and if women who wouldn’t otherwise, hear this and at the very least schedule an overdue mammogram or pap smear then it will be to the good. I am not a particular fan of her, pretty much pay little attention to Hollywood types, but the criticisms of her choice in this matter strike me as just petty and meanspirited for no reason.

Where did I do that?
Please show me where I did.
I asked where is the lauditory writ for the people who DON’T have the finances.
The answer is: You won’t see it in the press at all because you and I aren’t “FAMOUS.”
My mother in law had cancer four times.
My grandmother died of it.
She’s taking this action out of fear, and the press is tossing it out there for whatever reason because we are supposed to, apparently, be wrapped up in her life.
I cannot think of a thing to add to your post—I agree wholeheartedly.
Back in the day, I remember the late Betty Ford being just excoriated for mentioning (in media) she had breast cancer. It was something that just wasn’t talked about in public. How many MILLLIONS of women lives have now been saved due to Mrs Ford doing the initial heavy lifting?
Awareness is every thing. Kudos to AJ for speaking out.
