Endometriosis affects millions of women and girls. But we don't talk about it. I'm proud to have been an executive producer of "Below the Belt," a documentary airing on PBS on June 21 that breaks the silence. Don't miss this moving, informative, and infuriating film. pbs.org/show/below-belt-last…

1. Doctor orders scan that's clearly indicated for patient & which they've had many times before (allowing for apples-to-apples comparison)

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.
