Wow. Just wow. The important thing here is that NOW did not endorse the Republican ticket, just this one woman with severe reality perception deficiencies.

CA NOW president Patty Bellasalma released a statement saying:
"I can assure you that there is no local or state affiliate of NOW, including LA NOW, which endorses or supports the McCain/Palin ticket. John McCain and Sarah Palin oppose many of the rights and freedoms we have fought for throughout NOW's 42 years, and we will not be pushed back to the days of back-alley abortions, forced pregnancies, and pay discrimination without remedy."

The bad thing about this is that many conservatives are now going to use Shelly Mandell to mislead the public and make them think that the McCain/Palin ticket is, in fact, supported by NOW.
On a tangential note, I still can't understand the level of compartmentalization required for women to actively suppress the rights of other women. Blech.
