It is unfortunate that these feminists cannot confront this very real health problem affecting the lives of many women in America. Highly Politicized The highly politicized nature of the conference was obvious the minute you registered. Planned Parenthood's table was manned by two young women, with butch haircuts and multi-piercings, handing out colorful condoms. The Unitarians were pushing their humanist version of social justice. The Girl Scouts were proudly denying any concern over that unfortunate issue dogging the Boy Scouts.
Religions do that.
It was with some relief that I spotted the Daughters of the American Revolution. A battered women's shelter, Abby's House of Worcester, was there. A conservative Christian women's organization, Concerned Women for America, which is three times larger than NOW, had applied for exhibit space and never received an answer from the conference organizers. On to the panel discussions. First, to the violence against women presentation.
