Memoir: Giffords was trying for baby before shooting
Source: MSNBC

PHOENIX — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords vows to return to Congress in a new book that details months of intense therapy and her emotional battle to come to terms with what happened when a gunman opened fire in front of a Tucson grocery store.

The book, written by Giffords' husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, also says that the couple had been quietly trying to have a baby. Giffords had undergone several rounds of fertility treatments in the last few years and was hoping to be pregnant early in 2011.

The memoir, called "Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope," is the most personal and detailed look yet at Giffords' struggle over the past 10 months to relearn how to walk and talk, and her painful discovery that 12 others were wounded and six killed during the Jan. 8 attack.

>snip<
Giffords delivers the last chapter — a single page of short sentences and phrases entitled "Gabby's Voice" in which she says her goal is to get back to Congress.

2. OK.....I need the Kleenex box.....
Wow, what a tragic admission. Her opportunity to bring into this world and raise a rational child spoiled by a deranged man egged on by the right's 2nd amendment remedy shit. Disgusting and something God is going to consider...I spoke with him a few minutes ago. He appeared in my bowl of spaghetti and said he would punish those 2nd amendment types. SARCASM......
