Thank You NARAL


In the last few days I have been growing increasingly concerned about the us vs. them mentality that appeared to be developing in Hillary's camp, especially in terms of its potential impact on feminism.  I know that I am not alone in these concerns.  I wrote here and in my blog  <http://msa4.wordpress.com/ > the following:

"It is time that feminists who have supported Clinton for the right reasons step up to the plate and criticize her for unacceptable remarks and practices. The women's movement has been deeply divided over the Clinton candidacy. Yet what started out as a legitimate disagreement about the merits of the candidates and their agendas has turned into a test of one's feminist credentials. But the test is perverse. It is not a test of feminist principles and values. It has become a test of loyalty to Clinton, in spite of the fact that she is undermining basic feminist values..... ........"

I can't tell you how pleased I am that NARAL has stepped up to the plate, even if its position doesn't entail any direct criticism of Hillary's remarks and practices.  The latter still require discussion, but it would certainly be counterproductive for every endorsement to engage in criticism and analysis.
