NOW falsely accused of selling out the Prochoice movement by... (anti-choicer)?"

I was concerned this evening to read this little item on indybay:

"Planned Parenthood, NARAL and NOW sell out the movement

This article quoted a certain blog;
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-hamsher/naral-and-planned-parenth_b_16277.html

This is the title at that link:
"NARAL and Planned Parenthood Are Now the Enemies of Pro-Choice"

This blog concerns itself with the disappointing performance in the recent Alito confirmation of 2 major pro-choice orgs. ***This blog singled out N.O.W. as CONTINUING the fight for choice.*** N.O.W. continues to be unequivoclably in favor of a woman's right to choose for herself what her moral beliefs are in regards to the issue of abortion and to be treated as a human being worthy of that responsibility.

Read the blog. Then read the revisionist version from what may be an anti-choicer using indybay to spread disinformation and divide the prochoice side. There are definitely issues of commitment for both Planned Parenthood and NARAL, disappointing of course. Judge for yourself.

So- an indymedia "reporter" has included pro-choice stalwart N.O.W. in with the others. Why? Why do you think? Divide and conquer? NARAL and PP can be brought back into the fold. But we have to be careful of the source of this kind of information and confirm it with secondary sources. Perhaps the indybay author mis-spoke. One has to wonder.

The game is on. They know it, we should too. This is not an issue of which indymedia outlet is being used in this fashion. It could happen to any of them, and you can bet the other side will try to do just that.
