Mom asked me to post this little bit of activism re: women' health.

She has been clean of ovarian cancer for 12 years and counting, and I promised that her little shiny headed cyber activist would post this on the usual boards. She is very active in support groups, and is especially concered with younger woman. By the way, she is 81.

Rep. Sander Levin (kin to my senator, Carl Levin) introduced this bill. Even my R rep (Knollenberg) is listed as a co-sponsor.
