Dawn,

I informed the medical professionals I know about the petitions and I was in

awe.  The most arrogant surgeon at UVA - emailed me back first - telling me
he "admired the work that CHERUBS is doing" and he would be in "full
support"!  People amaze us sometimes!  Then Dr. Rogers made a very valid
point, that I hope you don't find offensive.  Sometimes these things become
muddled up in the hands of politicians - to the point that it protects no
one
and hurts medical professionals from doing their jobs and patients in the
end
too.

An example, and I know this is a hard one for us all, is the abortion issue
and the restrictions that states have placed on the doctors and the patients

too.  Some of the laws are just too much.  I did explain to Dr. Rogers that
this was just Petition Form - and also sent him the link to the site.

I agree, we don't want this to be muddled up to the point that it isn't
helping anyone.  Then, I know you - you would turn into that Tigress and
prevent that from happening.  I just wanted you to know the feedback so far.

Hugs,
Elizabeth
