The National Organization for Women claims to be “the largest organization of feminist activists in the United States.” The organization’s goal is “to take action to bring about equality for all women” and to “end all forms of violence against women.”

So you’d think they might be concerned with the violent persecution of women that happens every day around the globe. Like the case of a woman in Iran who faces death by stoning after being convicted of adultery. Or the Pakistani woman in Italy who had her throat slit open for “refus[ing] to conform to an Islamic lifestyle.”

These days, the ladies at NOW can’t be bothered with all that. They’ve got far more pressing women’s issues to talk about, like the war in Iraq and the need to impeach President Bush.

It’s good to see that they’ve got their priorities straight.
