Some lawyer serving on some court announced her resignation last week, and the NAGs (National Organization for Women) consider it an assault on reproductive freedom. They warn of going back to a time when women were nothing more than barefoot and pregnant kitchen slaves. "Oh woe is us, please send money."

Then there's this:

[Rosemary J. Dempsey, a Connecticut lawyer who joined NOW in 1970] wants to focus on attracting younger members and opposing President Bush's economic agenda, which she says inflicts disproportionate harm on women.

Younger women indeed. James Taranto would probably point out that NOW suffers from the "Roe effect". That's his theory that supporting abortion has wiped out would be abortion supporters. But abortion aside - are any of their members even young enough to have kids anymore - attracting younger women as members has got to be difficult. After all, women are basically liberated and empowered to do anything they want. I doubt that too many of today's young women even feel persecuted. And just who wants to join a bunch of bitter old bra burners any way?
