  >>when I was in NOW they were all over the place with lots of women's issues: childcare, health care, abused women's rights to charge their husbands with abuse.<<

  Yeah, well, cosmicmojo, it's all about Marketing, as you said in your post. Then (it)should have been heralded at a "right to privacy", which Americans place extreme value upon, as opposed to "a right to choose", as in, "do I buy Minute Maid or Tropicana orange juice?"

  What I saw from 1988-1992 was white, upper middle class women that had never wanted for anything tell those of their economic and social status that it was all about "reproductive rights" and "the right to choose", and in the same breath and in the same rooms and rallies tell women of color and poor white women that for them it was about "an unwanted baby ruining your life" and "population control". Incontinuity will kill ya' every turn.

  Is it any wonder this prochoice "movement" is in the toilet? They're segregated amongst themselves and they've successfully segregated the entire frmale populace.

  The average woman has a brain. And if she believes that her lot should not be cast with the NOWs, NARALs and feminist alarmists of the day, then, this has got to be accepted by those so-called "enlightened leaders".

  And the wheel goes 'round.
