Kathy Moran never thought she'd be standing on the street at sunset, political flyers in a bag slung over her shoulder, trudging door to door trying to persuade people to vote. But Moran, a 64-year-old retired employment attorney, said on a crisp late October night that she couldn't sit on the sidelines any longer. With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which I couldn't imagine, I just had to get involved, she said while canvassing the streets of Cross Plains, a village of about 4,000 people on the outskirts of Wisconsin's liberal capital city of Madison.
