Has the sexual revolution been good for women? Yes, it has achieved needed change. Yes, but work remains. No, it has gone too far. No, it was never needed. I don't know. Something else explained in the comments.

Not Every Woman Supports Women's Rights August 29, 2008 Statement of NOW PAC Chair Kim Gandy on the Selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's Vice Presidential Pick Sen. John McCain's choice of Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate is a cynical effort to appeal to disappointed Hillary Clinton voters and get them to vote, ultimately, against their own self-interest. Gov. Palin may be the second woman vice-presidential candidate on a major party ticket, but she is not the right woman. Sadly, she is a woman who opposes women's rights, just like John McCain. The fact that Palin...

The National Organization for Women’s New York chapter issued a scathing reaction to Sen. Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. Actually, the word “scathing” feels inadequate here. Read for yourself: “Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed the fact that he was late in his support of Title IX, the ERA, the Family Leave and Medical Act to name a few. Women have buried their anger that...

Dear xxxxxxx Yesterday, I was proud to announce the NOW Political Action Committee's (NOW PAC) endorsement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy for the presidency. As we come to an end of a month of honoring women making history - including a record number of women serving in Congress, the first woman elected speaker of the House of Representatives, and more women than ever before leading nations around the world, we mark the beginning of our campaign to elect a history-making candidate for the U.S. Presidency. For 30 years, the NOW PAC has worked in every election cycle to elect...

If you should happen to telephone Ambassador John Bolton’s office at the United Nations, chances are good the person who answers your call will be one Peggy Kerry. Does that name ring a bell? Perhaps it should. According to a July 27, 2004 article in the Washington Times, Miss Kerry was the featured speaker at an event sponsored by the NOW in conjunction with the Democratic National Convention. “And he has a secret weapon,” Kerry boasted. “It seems to me that it’s up to the women, because when women vote, Democrats win.” And which “he” was Miss Peggy talking about?...

CNSNews.com) - Even before officials of the National Organization for Women could unveil their annual political agenda Friday, one of the nation's most vocal pro-life activists showed up to denounce the group and promise to continue his fight "until child killing is made illegal again." NOW's annual conference, running through the weekend, will revolve around a political blueprint for the group's 500 chapters and 600,000 members nationwide. The conference will focus on how to recruit women to run for political office and educate women on the issues of domestic violence, economic justice, lesbian rights and many others. But it is...

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Scott Peterson, husband of Laci Peterson, is being arraigned today in a California court on two counts of murder: One for Laci, the other for their unborn child. Pro-choice organizations are understandably uncomfortable about the latter, exposing as it does the convenient lie that abortion isn't somehow murder. "There's something about this that bothers me a little bit," said Mavra Stark, president of the local NOW office in Morris County, N.J., about the second count. "Was it born, or was it unborn? If it was unborn, then I can't see charging [Peterson] with a double-murder." Her logic:...

The California deaths of Laci Peterson and her unborn son are sending shock waves across America as the issue of when human life begins has been reignited. Laci's husband Scott was arrested last week following the discovery of what prosecutors say is Laci's body and that of their "biological child." Scott Peterson, who was booked on two counts of murder hours after his arrest in San Diego, is scheduled for an arraignment hearing tomorrow. If charged and convicted of double homicide, he could face the death penalty. Already, some pro-choice groups including the National Organization for Women are voicing their...
