Women in a Conservative Era
The New York Times, Letter to the Editor, January 14, 2003
Nancy Northup, President, Center for Reproductive RightsTo the Editor:”The War Against Women” (editorial, Jan. 12) exposes the hypocrisy of the Bush administration’s claim to promote democracy worldwide.A woman’s right to control her reproductive life is a fundamental human right and the mark of a free and fair society. Yet the Bush administration has embarked on a multifaceted attack at home and abroad to deny women this most basic right of self-determination.The public needs to recognize this threat with the urgency that it deserves, and demand the protection of a woman’s right to choose before it is eviscerated by the Bush administration and opponents of reproductive rights in Congress.NANCY NORTHUP

Reproductive Rights
