Lauren lives in Greensboro, NC and is the founder/project coordinator of CPC Watch, a web-based resource that seeks to expose fake clinics ("crisis pregnancy centers" or CPCs) and empower women to make educated reproductive decisions.  She writes regularly for ChoiceUSA and is currently persuing her birth doula certification with DONA International. 

Lauren is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro's Women's and Gender Studies program, where she also studied dance.  She has been a committed political activist since 2005, starting in grassroots anti-war and impeachment organizations and more recently in reproductive justice-related movements.   When not holding giant "WARNING: FAKE CLINIC" signs outside of local CPCs, she enjoys sewing, writing, and discussing gender theory with her husband.
