My blog will be referenced

I received an email from Catherine Morgan, who is a contributing editor to Blogher: http://blogher.org/blog/catherine-morgan & also at http://informedvoters.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/a-list-of-100-women-blogging-on-politics/

(I am a novice and write what I feel stirs my heart. I hope to entertain and inform those readers who click unto my blog. Perhaps contribute to my rants and feel free to post whatever you think is relevant to the subject matter at hand.)

I feel honored that my blog will be mentioned. I honestly feel that the advancements of medicine are sorely lacking in regards to women's issues. MILLIONS of dollars could have been better spent in regards to both genders than coming up with yet another erectile dysfunctional product. Imagine if if those same $$$$$$$$$$$$$ were spent on finding a faster cure for breast cancer and other serious issues plaguing women today. I personally cannot equate the importance of a drug like Viagra to discovering a cure for ovarian and breast cancer, heart disease, sexual health and fitness (among a list of many other ailments). Look how long it took to develop a vaccine regarding cervical cancer????!!!!!

A virus that causes cervical cancer??? If more research and development money could have redirected with finding this vaccine imagine how many women could have been saved??? The statistics is mind bloggling!
