I got a call from Samantha Bee\u2019s office the other day: Could they interview me on the role my film series \u201cWhatever Happened to the Human Race?\u201d played in launching the anti-abortion movement and the religious right? I said yes. They sent a crew to my home\u2026 and here\u2019s a bit of the result.
\nThanks Amanda Bee! This Saturday, June 4, please watch TBS and the Full Frontal Show I\u2019m on! Thanks!<\/p>\n
