Group laments 'fierce anti-abortion language,' cites 'male-dominated' Democratic Party in Coakley loss
WASHINGTON -- As Democrats weigh options for health reform following a major setback in the Massachusetts election, the nation's leading womens' rights group blasted the legislation as "beyond outrageous."
The National Organization for Women (NOW) harbors deep concerns with the Senate health legislation, and exclaims that "women will be better off with no bill whatsoever."
"The Senate bill contains such fierce anti-abortion language, and there are other problems from the point of view of women," NOW's President Terry O'Neill told Raw Story in an interview.
O'Neill said NOW "will not support candidates in 2010 if they vote for it."
