As a young woman of the Christian faith, Westboro Baptist's decision to protest Elizabeth Edwards funeral makes me sick. This poor woman was forced to deal with the death of her child, the PUBLIC infidelity of her husband, and cancer, and remained a very shining example of a strong, independent woman. I have always remained a fan of Ms. Edwards, regardless of my political affiliation, simply because she always stood up for what she believed in, regardless of the situation. She worked hard for healthcare reform, particularly after her diagnosis. Westboro Baptist is merely looking for attention it does not deserve, and in the process, ruining the memory of a wonderful woman. Ms. Edwards, thank you for your years of service to our country and being such a great role model as a woman leader.
