It was a crisp and brilliant autumn day last October when the medical and financial crises with which my family had successfully, if barely, coped for seven years became a catastrophe.
..My husband had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2002, a year after our daughter was paralyzed in a horse-riding accident. His balance had deteriorated until he fell two or three times at home last summer. In the face of his diminishing physical condition, a single fall could result in disastrous injury. We scheduled an appointment with his neurologist in Washington.
We pulled up to the main entrance of the hospital after the two-hour drive from our home near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. My husband opened his door, grabbed the roof of the car and began to pull himself out as I walked around to help him. I was too late. In an instant--time slowed enough for me to see the danger but raced ahead too fast for me to reach him--he lost his grip and fell to the concrete, shattering his hip, breaking his femur and causing internal bleeding that kept him in the hospital for months

For anyone who doesn’t know, Kate Michelman was the head of the National Abortion Rights Action League for two decades.
"It was a dark and stormy night" works well too when writing crap.
Another abortion ghoul-witch clamoring for socialized medicine.
She’s had tough times, I say tough luck.
Maybe it’s a little payback for her rabid support of infanticide.
Does this woman think the care her husband recieved would’ve been given had we had nationalized healthcare? If she does then she is a fool. With the injuries he had with the diease he’d already been diagozised more than likely healtcare like that would’ve been deemed too expensive and he would’ve died from the internal bleeding.
So Kate Michelmann wants to reduce health care costs? Lets start with tort reform. When doctors no longer face $50k - $100k in malpractice premiums each year they’ll be better able to reduce their fees. Same for the hospitals.
Are you a socialist pro-lifer?
A. More government
B. More free market
This patient won't be cured with more of the same poison.
Kate Michelman?
I don’t understand. Why doesn’t she just kill her husband? He’s clearly defective. Why doesn’t she just abort...er, I mean, put him out of his misery?
“Why doesnt she just abort...er, I mean, put him out of his misery?”
Oh, don’t you mean a Post-Uterine Therapeutic Abortion?
I wonder that the NARALs don’t jump on that one.
Yes, or as an old high school teacher of mine used to say:
“Retroactive abortion.”
It is also obvious that what she really wants is FREE health care.
She aborted a baby she couldn’t afford. Looks like she can no longer afford her husband. He’d better not sleep with both eyes closed.
Well her story is a sad one and I feel awful about what happened to her husband and daughter
That woman is the example of liberal selfishness. How dare she complain that Republicans didn’t join her in her pro-death activism.
Her poor husband seems to be on her wish list for the next one she exterminates out of her way.
Who isn’t in favor of health care reform? Governmental programs, such as medicare, are running out of money. Free market methods and sytems that place the individual responsible for his or her actions or inactions must be developed. If the government was the answer, we could point to a system else where and say we want that.
She should know - I always assumed she was from there, too. Certainly, she's spent her adult life doing Satan's bidding.
If I believed in karma, this would be it.
It really is sad what happened to her husband. I wish a broken hip on no one especially an old person. And her daughter paralyzed from horseback riding? What a cross to bear
It could be God’s way of saying “you think an inconvenient baby is grief? I’ll show you what grief is.”
