Interesting format...reads/listens to more like an interview/compilation of her interviews as she often states "As I have said in numerous previous interviews..."
So funny that she said when she was a kid she wasn't allowed to watch Elvis because he was the devil, and in his younger days parents called Elvis: Elvis the Pelvis

Abortion is not generally illegal in the United States when the mother's life is in danger; all state bans include exceptions for medical emergencies to save the pregnant person's life.

Raising awareness value in debatriosis, when women aren't believed about their pain by male doctors who can't understand and then her atopic pregnancy, and she says she's raising awareness for abortion rights.Because if in another state, her life was in danger.She couldn't abort the ape topic.Pregnancy which that is completely false

I'm upset that Paige is talking about her endometriosis. Rupture, along with atopic pregnancy. She's in the hospital says that she doesn't know much about healthcare. And that after she has surgery and is discharged from the hospital. She's saying that she's raising awareness about endometriosis, which is great because doctors didn't believe her.And have a hard time believing women about what they're feeling,

Listening to her voice is so very soothing. I applaud her for standing up to high ranking industry men and never sacrificing her integrity, especially in the early 1960s.

a "consequence" of reading this is getting the Korn TRL songs from 5th grade stuck in my head.

I take issue with addicts calling alcoholism a "disease" or "a disease that runs in my family", OR is it more likely that this is a learned, either by family or societal exposure learned and falsely glorified maladaptive coping mechanism?

I think it's so cute that her name is Jamie and her husband's name is Jamie

No matter what anyone says, I applaud her for her choice at 16 to keep her baby despite a majority of her inner circle encouraging her not to, and then to be a proud teen mom in the celebrity/Hollywood spotlight.

Her explanation of genealogy, her parents' relationship, and the reasons for the dynamics of their relationship comes across as indoctrination not understanding.

so far KFed's book is really good, well written and well narrated by him. He's been pretty candid, I am liking his book when I thought I would just read for the train wreck laughs, I'm pleasantly surprised and glad that my preconceived thoughts going in have been proven wrong thus far.
