Some women's groups and the American Civil Liberties Union say segregation of any kind is wrong. "We think segregation has historically always resulted in second-class citizens," said Terry O'Neill, a National Organization for Women vice president. . . .

So much for feminists and the ACLU being on the side of choice and freedom.
