Current Work
In Fall, 2005, "Words of Choice" went on The Emergency Tour of Red States: Two vacancies on the Supreme Court might mean trouble for the right to privacy .... but the right to privacy is already in trouble in Kansas! And there's a fake state of Emergency in Missouri that is putting young women at risk!
