Natoma is a 50-year-old cancer survivor from Medina, Ohio, who wrote to President Obama last December. Like a growing number of Americans, she's self-employed and can't get health insurance through her job.

(Cynthia Tucker)
| Cynthia Tucker - WASHINGTON -- Perhaps members of the anti-abortion movement are growing a bit desperate. Though they've managed to crimp women's reproductive rights through decades of legislative maneuvering and extra-legal harassment, they still cannot overturn Roe v.

Right Wing Gone Wild
(Joe Conason)
| Joe Conason - Demagogues often prosper under the rules of democracy, intimidating the moderate and preying on the weak-minded.
