Everybody's all pissed about the new breast cancer screening recommendations.

What's that?

That women under 50 shouldn't... well, no, no shouldn't... that women under the age of 50 do not need to get mammograms, because statistically it's not worth it for them to. Above 50, yes; below, no.

Are they playing statistics with people's lives?

That's what the anger is about. But I don't know. I think it's misplaced.

How so?

If mammograms are not effective for finding breast cancer under 50, instead of being angry at those statistics...

...shouldn't we be spending time figuring out more effective methods.

Exactly. Is the choice really mammogram or no mammogram? What else is out there?

Hmmm.

So tired of women's bodies being the focus of political debate.
