RECENT COLUMNS
Taking a hit on health care? Why, that’s women’s work
Whether it is losing abortion coverage in the health care reform package or putting coverage for routine mammograms at risk, it seems like women must always work to not get thrown under the political bus. (Boston Globe, 11/18/09)
Patrick Kennedy vs. the church
The fight between Patrick Kennedy and the Providence bishop signals the start of another new day. The bishop has had no qualms about pointing out that Kennedy's views do not mirror church teachings. (Globe Columnist, 11/13/09)
The ways of Washington
Voting for a health care package that contains an antiabortion provision raises questions of principle for Senate candidates. (Boston Globe, 11/12/09)

Hold the fireworks, and the passion, too
None of the four Democrats vying to replace Ted Kennedy in the US Senate came across as the one true heir or heiress to the seat that Kennedy held for 47 years. (Globe Columnist, 10/26/09)
The tax brigade builds...
About 2,500 community activists are part of the ONE Massachusetts network. Their message -- raise taxes, don't cut state programs -- could be enough to launch the next Barbara Anderson on a new, antitax crusade. (Globe Columnist, 10/23/09)
