'BUFFALO, N.Y. — An upstate New York woman has admitted to gambling away thousands of dollars raised to help her son fight cancer.

The Buffalo News reports that 46-year-old Sherry Holcomb of Cortland pleaded guilty Wednesday in state Supreme Court to a felony count of scheme to defraud.

The newspaper reports that Holcomb confessed to losing $15,000 of her son's benefit money while gambling at casinos in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Canada.

Prosecutors say the money had been raised for her 21-year-old son, Ryan O'Donnell, who's being treated for leukemia.'

She gave birth to that boy, so she owns him outright. That includes his right to life and health and all else.

And going beyond the personal, she is a woman and we must remember the awful oppression suffered by women throughout history. So of course she's entitled to that money.

Women's rights must always come first.
