There is still hope, Rich Strike won the Kentucky Derby

The odds were 80 to 1, put in after another horse was marked out. Long odds, so I think that gave us hope, long odds but we can win the war on Abortion. Love it!!!

Am I wrong

but the argument "the right to do with our bodies as I want" does not seem like an argument that will reach a lot of people. I want to reach these people, I think it can be done, but I just do not think that will work.

I think we need to talk

Yes I am 67, had a bumpy road in life. The latest news about overturning Roe vs Wade affects me a lot . I made a decision after my first daughter at the age of 30, I should not have any more children. This was so hard, to talk about even now, such a private issue, if I say everything then is would affect my daughter and that is the last thing I want to do. People have no idea what we go through, not a clue. I call it the perfect gene pool syndrome. I know there are A LOT of people out there that are just like me, can not go public but are very much pro choice. Check with me later because I do need to add details about my story.

Good news, my pet scan showed no indication of metastasis

As I have discussed before I had a biopsy that came out positive on a lump in my armpit. I had breast cancer back in 1998, I had six positive lymph nodes in my armpit. They put me on a clinical trial that included a LOT of chemo. I found a lump in my armpit like six months ago and the breast clinic kept checking it every three months until this last time when the doctor wanted to do a needle biopsy on it. Surgery is in two weeks. So I was painting outside, for me painting is meditative. I started thinking how if I was to check out I wanted to be sure I left this world a better place for my kids and grand kids. That was at the top of my list.

This leads me to a story I read this morning about Putin and how he might be quite ill. So what does he do? He invades Ukraine, tears up the lives of millions of children, and Trump still calls him a genius. That is pretty outrageous, that one thing he wants to do is tear up lives, for his own glory. Trump knew this was on his list of things to do and does not care. How pro life could they possibly be? These people get away with claiming they are pro life. That kind of pisses me off. I am very much pro choice, but I would certainly want to leave this world a better place for my kids and they have no concern at all. How do they get the support of so called Christians.

After 22 years, my cancer has come back,

Yes I had breast cancer surgery in November of 1998 and Chemo in December of 1998 to May of 1999. I was put on a clinical trial. So now I had a needle biopsy on a lump in my armpit, and it came back positive. I am not surprised, my aunt had a 20 year remission. But the thing is now I am ready to tell my Republican in-laws and other Trump humping relatives exactly what I think. Let me tell you I have in-laws that live a few miles from Roger Marshal's home in Pawnee Rock Kansas. Boy are they fans of him. I still remember his commercials, him holding two newborns and telling everyone how pro-life he is. They thought I was just awful because I voted for his Democratic opponent . They think I am horrible. I am pro-choice and they think they have the moral high ground. Man, I think someone here probably needs to talk me out of letting me go after those guys. Right now I feel pretty good, health wise. Still have lots of energy, so I could let them have it. I have a sister in law that has a gun in her purse. I live in Wichita, and they think that makes me a horrible person because I am from the "big city". So should I hold back? Remember I have been listening to this for 35 years.
