I'm a Woman not an Object

I haven't been up long, I have just started catching up on the news and am watching the news conference about the suspected serial killer caught in Indiana; out of seven known women's bodies, and officials sure they'll find more, only one was reported missing.

I'll take having someone there for me any day over the few times I was alone and probably should have been in the hospital. I won't compare what I had to Ebola, but I have had a virus that I found out after, I should have...
