“how conservative is it to denigrate someone who does have the resources to do this, “
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.
and as I said, if the laudatory writ encourages someone to have a pap smear or mammogram who had otherwise put it off, then why gripe about it. it’s petty. my sisterinlaw died of breast cancer at a relatively young age leaving behind a daughter. she went every two years for mammograms, but her cancer was aggressive and fast growing. had she had the foreknowledge, perhaps she would have chosen to do this procedure and perhaps prolonged her life or even saved it.
......because we are supposed to, apparently, be wrapped up in her life.
Because she is an attention whore, “look at me, I took out a whole page ad”. Or maybe because she wants to remind us peons of the excellent health care and options available to her. Can you imagine any women fighting with her insurance carrier to voluntarily have her ovaries/fallopian tubes/breasts removed? I don’t have a problem with her removing any body parts she chooses. She would be a wonderful advocate for women’s cancer and cancer prevention yet chooses not to. That part seems hypocritical.
