Palin Jolts the Republican Heart into Action

I just read an article about how Palin is apparently jump starting a new craze of Republican support across the nation. It’s an interesting read. Check it out:

National Organization for Leftist Women

NOW, or as I actaully call it NOLW, has posted an article against Sarah Palin on their website.

They make this statement:

“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.”

Since you call yourself the “National Organization for Women” that would arrogantly indicate that you speak for all women. Since you apparently don’t speak for Sarah Palin and since she so ardantly disagrees with your “Women’s rights” wouldn’t this raise a red flag to consider why she disagrees? Because, she is a woman, not matter how much you might want to fight against that fact. Doesn’t she also have a say on the issue? Or, do you only speak for leftist women and their leftist women’s rights? Because, frankly, I need some clarification. If you only speak for leftist women (which you obviously do) then you should change your name and stop your generalizations as if you speak for ALL women (because you most certainly don’t). Back to my original point, since Sarah Palin is a woman, and she does disagree with you, where does that bring us with the whole “feminist” movement? Could you actually be wrong? (Wow, that’s a shocker!)

Finally, as the chair of NOW’s Political Action Committee, I am frequently asked whether NOW supports women candidates just because they are women. This gives me an opportunity to once again answer that question with an emphatic ‘No.’ We recognize the importance of having women’s rights supporters at every level but, like Sarah Palin, not every woman supports women’s rights.”

The term “women’s rights” seems rather vague. What are “women’s rights”? If you mean the ability to have an abortion done, than yes, Sarah Palin (like most Republicans) wouldn’t agree that women have the right to get an abortion. However, if you mean women equality, then wouldn’t her being a governor and wanting to become the Vice President even indicate in itself that she is striving for what all women want in equality? The ability to do and be anything they set their mind to without limits or boundries. I am sure she is for non-discrimination against women in the workplace, etc… She just draws the line at abortion. Saying, “she is not for women’s rights” is just saying that she is not for your version of women’s rights.

Let me bring this back to my original point. Not every woman supports women’s rights. Think about that for a second. It insinuates that all women should be for women’s rights. Why wouldn’t they be? Right? I mean every woman I know has goals and wants to pursue their dreams. Ask yourself, maybe there is a chance that NOW has taken women’s rights way too far. They have pushed it to a point of madness, immorality, and militancy.
