"national organization for women" Lott Abortion yields 360 hits.
It wasn't even the NOW crowd who started this stampede. I have yet to see Patricia Ireland on the tube. Bill Bennett and Jack Kemp are supposedly dupes of NOW in your opinion?
I agree with you that NOW is against Partial Birth Abortion being banned, but it is silly to think this is what this is about.
You have partisan politics combined with some genuine concern about Lott's mentality on the dem side who are zinging Lott. You have republicans like Jack Kemp who fear about race relations and growing the minority base in the GOP, on the republican side.
Daschle's first instinct was to protect Lott. It is extremely telling.
