Former televangelist Tammy Faye Messner -- formerly Tammy Faye Bakker -- posted Tuesday on her website (service is currently unavailable) a message about her health.Messner, 65, reports that doctors have stopped treating her cancer -- she was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1996 and announced in 2004 the disease had spread to her lungs.
"I am down weight-wise to 65 pounds, and look like a scarecrow," the Charlotte resident shared on her site. "I need God's miracle to swallow. I look at young people and wish with all my heart for just one day of 'feeling great.'"
I have kept this post in the pending file for two days because something inside me is deeply opposed to giving
these groups any more media attention or blog time than they manage to attract on their own. But, as a breast cancer
survivor, I have become aware of an emerging new twist in the agenda regarding the fight to overturn the legalization
of abortion that is so disturbing and offensive, I feel compelled to share the observation more than I feel compelled
to denying these groups attention. This post is not about abortion. This post is about a group using cancer in a veiled
attempt to further the political agenda for overturning the legalization of abortion -- in what appears to be an
anything goes tactic of justifying the means to achieve the ultimate goal.
