NOW's top ten lies for promoting violence against women

"The National Organization for Women is the moral equivalent of the SS for mothers and their preborn babies," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "In blind pursuit of its radical social agenda, NOW is unparalleled in its victimization of women and children."

In advance of NOW's World March of Women, 2000—purportedly targeting violence against women—Mrs. Brown provided an accurate portrayal of NOW's misguided agenda:

10. Abortion is a victimless medical procedure that is good for women.
9. RU-486 is a safe, quick and easy way to end pregnancy.
8. Pro-lifers outside a clinic are political extremists who will tell you lies and may even cause you bodily harm.
7. Abortion ensures that all children will be wanted children, and therefore child abuse problems will be eliminated.
6. Abortion became a safe medical procedure when it was made legal.
5. "Safe sex" is safe sex.
4. Birth control is medical treatment and health insurance should cover it.
3. Pro-lifers are opposed to reproductive rights for women; they favor giving the fetus rights and taking your rights away.
2. There's no such thing as post-abortion trauma.
1. Partial-birth abortion isn't infanticide - it's an abortion procedure that is sometimes necessary to protect the life or health of the mother.
