Thanks to Tweeter!

She has a Wisdom not found in many people.

I watched Gianna Jessen whose speech I came by on a prochoice Twitter account (Tweeter doesn't believe in abortion survivors and put it up there with some mocking comments)  Gianna is so feisty and funny impressive! Gosh she is not at all afraid to be herself! Her honesty is beautiful.

I don't agree with her very strong views on Government Health care, I was raised in it and worked in it for over 20 years - there are many misconceptions about it, mostly put out by Republicans, sorry, Republican follwers/readers. But what I am saying is true.

I suspect in fact she would have done better in Foster Care in Ireland in the 80's.. I worked as a public health nurse (Government run) and as a baby at risk, I would've visited her home very often from the time she would have come home from the hospital, to check on her welfare and development. She would not have languished in a bad home for 17 months if I had had anything to do with her. All of my colleagues would have done the same, we were all committed, and we cared.

We visited every child born, regularly, for 5 years. We were not there to 'interfere' but to be a support person and a resource for the mother.  Gianna would have been nearly top on my list along with other children considered at risk.  It is a good system - or was before the Downturn, I don't know what it is like now 20 years later.
