NOW president warns of conservative agenda : Alumna returns for Loyola speech (Bruce Nolan, 03/21/02, The Times-Picayune)

Gandy sketched a vision of conservative federal appellate courts quietly dismantling legislation protecting the environment, employee rights and workplace safety standards.

The reversals are occurring in bits and pieces in complicated cases largely below media radar, she said.

"I'm scared to death, and I can't figure out how to make this into a sound bite," she told a warmly receptive audience.

Gandy mentioned abortion only briefly, warning that if the Bush administration gets three appointments to the Supreme Court, the 1973 abortion decision Roe v. Wade might be overturned.

Okay, so it seems only fair to take a look at NOW's agenda, right? Well, I couldn't find the National's but did find the NY State chapter's :

NOW-NYS Legislative Priorities

NOW-NYS Support Memos

Women's Health & Wellness Act
SONDA
Dignity for All Students Act
Emergency Treatment of Rape Survivors
Comparable Worth Legislative Package
Expanding Education on Female Genital Mutilation
Raising the Minimum Wage
Sweatshop Prohibition Act

NOW-NYS Oppose Memos

Using the Toxicology Report of a Newborn
The Misleading Women's "Right to Know" Act
Presumption of Joint Custody
Changing "Visitation" to "Parenting Time"
"Parental Education" Programs for Divorce and Custody Litigants
Fetal Rights Legislation
D&X Late Term Abortion Bill
Eradication of Medicaid Funding for Abortion
Unborn Victims of Violence Act
Women's Health 2001 - Smoke and Mirrors

Loathe as I am to generalize, it seems they want just a few things : unrestricted abortion, special rights for the differently oriented, and socialist economic legislation. Now tell me--who should be afraid of whom?
