Gee ! I didn’t know Tammy Bruce had so many fans here !

Quoting Wikipedia:

“Tammy Bruce collaborated with Los Angeles professional women to create one of the first ad-hoc independent pro-choice (abortion rights) activist groups. The group’s early feminist activism began in 1987.[4] This group confronted anti-abortion group protesters, and helped develop a strategy to stop “Operation Rescue” from successfully blocking the entrance to abortion clinics. During the years 1987-1990 she also participated in the the Los Angeles chapter of the AIDS activist group “AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power”, also known as “ACT-UP.”[5]

For seven years, Bruce served as president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) (1990-1996), the longest continuous tenure in the chapter’s 30-year history. She mobilized activists nationally and locally on multiple issues affecting women, including economics, child care, health care, portrayal of women in the media, and violence against women, particularly domestic violence. Bruce served two years on NOW’s board of directors, but later criticized the organization in a book. During the early 1990s, she spearheaded the campaign to alert the public to the sexualized violence in the novel American Psycho, and led an effort to boycott all titles by that publisher, Knopf, for a year”
