I rarely watch 60 minutes, but caught this last night. A good piece of work and I hope word continues to spread among women of child-bearing age. I'd never before seen Kim Gandy, NOW president, and was appalled. I blocked out the right half of her face, then the left. A raging, furious, hate-filled woman trying to look reasonable, not succeeding. The statistics on women under 35 who have never had children are staggering.....wasn't it 50%? We're going to disappear.
It's the distribution you have to consider, not the 'fifty percent' number. Under 35 probably means 15-35. Most of the women who have never had children probably fall into the age 20-25 category.
I just did a search on Kim Gandy, and got the NOW homepage. Ouch! She looks uncomfortable in makeup.
At the bottom of her bio page, she mentions a few facts about her ethnomusicologist husband, Kip Lornell, and her two daughters. One has mom's surname; one has dad's surname. Here's the kids' bio:
"Elizabeth Cady Lornell was named after Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the 19th century suffragist leader who wrote the Declaration of Sentiments for the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention, as well as the Woman's Bible.
Katherine Eleanor Gandy, born in August 1995, was named after several feminist leaders: Katherine Austin, former NOW Board member; Eleanor Smeal, former NOW President; and Eleanor Roosevelt, activist First Lady."
I feel so sorry for those kids.
