NOW is typical of many advocacy groups, whether it be women's rights, animal rights, civil rights....and on and on. Many of these causes were begun by sincere people trying to correct serious mistreatment of disenfranchised segments of society. Then, the radical fringe takes control and you have:
The above instance of a murder case being turned into an abortion debate
PETA groups wanting to give lab monkeys the right to sue their owners
Jesse Jackson
The original inequities that lead to the formation of NOW were legitimate and needed to be addressed. It is a shame most people have come to view this organization as a bunch of lesbian hairy-legged man-haters.
