I tried a website to calculate the life expectancy of an 85 year old widow with cancer, but the site scammed me into entering the data and then demanded an email address.

Let me know if anyone else comes up with the number. My guess is about 2 years, which does make things interesting politically.

I doubt you can calculate that, there are too many variables with cancer, location, and other issues. My wife works in Oncology and has decades of medical experience, and everything she's read (and between the lines), she thinks 3 - 6 months at best.

The average life expectancy for her generation was high 70s, so she's in extra innings, NOT counting these health issues.

Ginsburg was seen in a wheelchair the other day. If she was doing well, she would be ambulatory 3 weeks post Op.

But since there were “two malignant nodules,” the odds are is that this is Stage IV or metastatic cancer – meaning that it has spread to the lungs from another organ system.

Yes, two nodules is bad news. Especially since she's already had other growths (rectal and pancreatic) removed in the past few years.

Thoracic surgery is rough on anybody, at 86 (this coming March) it's rough.

I'd rather not give a link to a scammer site because it helps promote them. I'll look for a different life expectancy calculator.

Simple. Give them trump@whitehouse.gov or report_fraud@fbi.gov

Ginsburg is spotted for the first time since surgery, She's rolled out in a wheelchair to a waiting car and barely can transfer into it without assistance.

She broke the ribs over 2 MONTHS ago. If she needs a wheelchair because of broken ribs NOW, should she really be ruling on important legal cases?

Abortion ( as long as it is not late term) allows women to control if she wants to bring a child to this world. Maybe she is a teen mother, maybe she was molested or maybe she is just not ready.

Furthermore, there are credible scientific studies showing that allowing abortion drastically decreases crime rates 15 yrs down the line.

You’re just saying that because abortion clinics have targeted black mothers as highest priority. Why do you hate black babies, Tim?

They'll pretend she's working from home for a while, hold off on death certificate until next election.

abortion drastically decreases crime rates 15 yrs down the line.

So would stopping unfettered illegal immigration.

Tim Aurora says

No God will help the side where priests are allowed to molest or where people are allowed to kill in the name of religion (Islamic terrorists)

Agreed.

No God will help the side where priests are allowed to molest or where people are allowed to kill in the name of religion (Islamic terrorists) Snide remark aside, God is unique to everyone and you do not have a trademark on God. Abortion ( as long as it is not late term) allows women to control if she wants to bring a child to this world. Maybe she is a teen mother, maybe she was molested or maybe she is just not ready. You are no one to tell me which God to believe and it does not have anything to do with OP's question..

Xenu?

Conclusion: accessible abortion services and no illegal immigration. Simple solutions that make all of us safe.

Almost the libertarian point of view, except libertarians don't want to pay for other people's abortions.

I am sure Planned Parenthoods and left-wing charities would step and provide funds.

And Libertarians do not want to limit immigration at all.........

From the Libertarian Party platform: "Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders."

Looks like Ruthie is too busy hitting the gym with her personal trainer and working out, not able to take the time to do a few interviews:

Washington (CNN)Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will not attend scheduled talks in the upcoming weeks in Los Angeles and New York, following her surgery in December, after she missed Supreme Court arguments earlier this month, the event hosts said.

The 85-year-old justice was supposed to attend an event on January 29 at Los Angeles' Skirball Cultural Center. A long-planned conversation between Ginsburg and the financier and philanthropist David Rubenstein was scheduled for February 6, and the 92nd Street Y said Wednesday that it was working to reschedule the event.

"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg regrets that she is unable to attend the talk with David Rubenstein at 92Y on February 6," an email from the 92nd Street Y said. "She is curtailing travel and focusing on her work while recuperating from recent surgery."

Yup, she's training for a marathon with no sign of disease.

She has a defibrillator for her defibrillator.
