He was my second child. My first child did inherit Ectrodactyly. I was just the luck of the draw. Well the same thing happened to Aaron. Seeing that I did have a child with Ectrodactyly, the talk show hostess decided that Jim and I would be an easy target. We were, after all, on the air live at the same time she was on the air live and it was pretty safe bet that we wouldn't hear broadcast if we were in the middle of our broadcast.
So we were a pretty easy safe target. Her whole subject for the evening, which was a National broadcast, was "Is it fair for Bree to have children knowing that she might pass Ectrodactyly along to her children. What happened on the air was misinformation about not just my deformity, but about people with disabilities in general.
I felt that it would be wrong for me to just pull the wool over my eyes and pretend that this didn't happen, because I have built myself up as a disabilities rights advocate for 15 years. Could I now, being on the sharp end of the poking stick, just pretend this didn't happen and let it go away? Which is what Channel 2 wanted me to do. They didn't like that I objected to this talk show. But when Jim and I went public with our protest and filed a complaint with the FCC, it was on the basis that we have a proper balanced forum in which to discuss issues as important as reproductive rights for people with disabilities.
This was not, as far as we were concerned, a first amendment right issue at all. It was really more about having balance and fairness in important discussions about people with disabilities.
When people with disabilities who claimed to understand more about what my family might be feeling called in to issue their opinions, the talk show hostess would refuse to put them on the air or cut them off. When we heard the tape and heard that this is how she was handling these callers, the callers who really might have some expertise about the quality of life when you have a disability, we were outraged.
That was when I felt like I really could not let this go. It took me two weeks after the broadcast, in which I decided to go ahead with some sort of public protest. We got about people to sign on the complaint to the FCC. The complaint simply said that we request that when our families are being discussed on this issue that there is a balanced forum in which to discuss it.
I felt that much of what was happening in terms of accuracy of the discussion was really a forgotten thing. Nobody paid attention to the accuracy. For example, was ectrodactyly a disease or a deformity? According to the talk show hostess it was a disease and leads people to believe that this is possibly contagious or that I am deliberately passing along a disease to my children. This is something that you may say is splitting hairs.
It was all about allowing the forum to be shared by an equal opportunity audience. The people with disabilities who were calling to give their opinion, either pro or con, about our right to have children were just simply cut off. Particularly when they said, "You know, this isn't your business Jane.
This is something you don't know anything about, and it shows, and this is not your business. I also wanted to make sure that if my children ever heard about this incident, which they probably will because it has remained something that has eaten away at me for sometime, that I wanted them to be here, and that they have every right to be here.
It was extremely important to me that they know that, regardless of what happened with the complaint. The FCC ultimately decided not to hear it, which was really okay by us, because we had accomplished what we set out to do. Which was to get many organizations of disability rights activist together to sign on to this complaint.
Her gait was slightly unsteady. Over the course of a two-hour conversation, she seemed entirely lucid, particularly in light of the unfortunate personal situation that had suddenly thrust her into the headlines.
While driving home on Interstate 5 with her 5-year-old pit bull, Petey, she missed the turnoff for the Freeway. Trying to make her way to the , she ended up on surface streets in Anaheim.
It was just after midnight on Wednesday when police there pulled her over for a red-light violation. They said she seemed disheveled and noticed an empty vodka bottle in her car. She failed a field sobriety test, but would not submit to a Breathalyzer, said police, who handcuffed her and took her into custody. She spent the night in jail; Petey went to the animal shelter. Walker had no idea that her arrest, and her mug shot, were about to blow up. Nor did it occur to her to try to spin the news.
Her desk was covered in circulars — pitches from pizza joints and DUI attorneys. Not that it matters, but I think he probably meant Nick Nolte , whose infamous arrest photo is the gold standard for bad mug shots. She screwed up the courage to look at the photo, which shows a very taut face, and full lips that many have speculated are surgically enhanced, which she denies.
My lips are full. I think they look fuller because I am thin. Walker, who says she is an alcoholic, got sober in At the time, she announced she was voluntarily entering rehab. We would think so.
