4. Your mother sounds wonderful.

I haven't a daughter. I do have a son and I think it will be good for our sons as well.

My mother was also a supporter of reproductive rights. She had a friend who died from an illegal botched abortion and she was ferociously pro-choice.

Both my parents were active dems and they put their money where their beliefs lay. My father was a very early supporter of Carter's and threw a benefit for him.

I'll never forget the Carter inaugural ball I attended- largely because I tripped over George Wallace's wheel chair and my skirt went flying up to my waist. The SS guys were laughing as they helped me up. I fled to the bathroom.
