A hard act to swallow!!!

Before the jokes roll in, lets not just forget what the lady went through in her life. She made "Deep Throat" at gunpoint, enduring repeated beatings when she refused to do what was ordered of her. She was repeatedly raped and degraded by any member of her husbands industry who felt the urge to rape and degrade her. She is a prime example of the harm the "adult entertainment industry" can do and was a feirce and respected human rights campaigner in her later life.

Let's remember her as a woman who went through hell and not only survived, but strengthened, saved and was an example to others.

Let's respect her determination to salvage her life and think to ourselves, there but for the grace of God....

And her name was Linda Boreman, not Lovelace.

Well said, Leah!
