I won’t comment regarding your difference with Apple and the ad (and by the way, the ad I actually use is the political version that features Hillary Clinton as “Madame Big Brother.”
But I will respond to your conclusion: “But to the point of your post. There were only one reason the feminists opposed Palin and that was abortion.”
A LOT of Republican politicians oppose abortion. So why did they just go after Sarah Palin? And you can’t say it was because of her VP run, because it just went on and on even after the election.
Now Sarah Palin has stepped down, and they found a NEW target - and lo and behold - the EXACT same sort of target: an attractive Republican WOMAN.
I believe that there is no question at all that they are singling out and attacking intelligent, well-spoken conservative women because they represent a threat to “NOW-feminist Democrats.”
“I believe that there is no question at all that they are singling out and attacking intelligent, well-spoken conservative women because they represent a threat to “NOW-feminist Democrats.”
Of course. But would these women pose such a threat if they were intelligent, well spoken women who supported abortion while adopting an otherwise conservative agenda? NOW is a single issue organization completely committed to the preservation and extension of abortion. Sure, they may adopt other liberal positions but that is a tactical maneuver, a payback for the support of other liberal organizations for their support of the NOW agenda.
NOW supported Bill Clinton and opposed impeachment despite his actions which would have brought NOW condemnation of any other man for one and only one reason. They believed that the preservation of Bill Clinton as president was essential to the defense of abortion on demand. If Clinton had not supported abortion, NOW would not have rushed to his defense.
