This Is Informative, You Should Watch It of the Day: Brave breast-cancer survivor Linda Burger, 56, has a few choice words for certain people who seem to think politics should be allowed to dictate policy when it comes to the life-saving detection and treatment of breast cancer.

This video contains very frank language and courageously graphic footage of a body that’s undergone a bilateral mastectomy, but it is highly recommended viewing for anyone who wishes to learn from a well-informed source what breast cancer is, and — perhaps more importantly — what it is not.

[c&l.]

Breast cancer screening and other preventive treatment exams are offered at Planned Parenthood. A lot of women don’t have access to healthcare and, for oncology treatment, you can’t go to an ED for dialysis or other infusion services; you need an Onc team taking care of you and following your case.

Don’t let politics strip a population of their access and right to healthcare.
