Host you suggest jodi picoult that Justice Kavanaugh should read your newest book a spark of light. Why is that . Bank is probably one of the most balanced looks at abortion rights and womens reproductive rights that i have found. I worked really hard to make it balanced and i think it would allow him to see other peoples points of view with compassion and empathy and protect roe v wade a little longer. Host you say all points of your represented. House so . So in my book government one a man comes in with a gun and starts shooting and he takes the rest hostage. One of them is the daughter of the hostage negotiator. They all believe Different Things and all points of you are accurately represented. Host how do you storyboard a story like that .

Invited me into the room to observe a 5week abortion and an 8 week abortion and a 16 week

The book is actually a shooting at a reproductive rights in mississippi, one of the eight states that only have one clinic left in america because of over 280 laws at the state level has shifted away a reproductive rate since for 2012. In my book a gun comes in with a grudge and start shooting, he kills some patients and hostages and he patients employees any take the rest hostage. One of the people he takes hostage is the 15 euro daughter of the Hostage Negotiator on the outside and the people in the clinic are a wide range of people who have all been brought here at this moment they believe Different Things about reproductive rights, use the individuals were prochoice and prolife and all of their points of view are very evenly and accurately represented. How do you storyboard a complex story like that with all sorts of connections and things going on. That is a particular question, there is another twist in th
