Sen. Clinton's Campaign Journey Sparks New Women's Movement, Boston Globe Reports

�Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-N.Y.) actor's line Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention "brought into sharp relief the passion for women's issues her crusade engendered -- and the possibility of a legacy that could re-energize or divide the feminist movement" -- the Boston Globe reports. According to the Globe, it is non clear whether a new movement would benefit the organizations that have long been at the vanguard of women's issues, such as EMILY's List and NARAL Pro-Choice America.

Such groups nowadays are vocation for oneness, saying that some of the to the highest degree important women's issues, especially abortion rights, are at stake in the November election and that Clinton supporters should stand up for them, the Globe reports. Many Clinton supporters, however, static are angry with Democratic leaders and women's groups, saying they "did small to confront rampant sexism and allowed an unfair primary march," according to the Globe. Consequently, some groups ar divided all over supporting Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) or Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) -- "a troubling turn for the Democratic Party and for the feminist establishment, whose credibility depends on holding Clinton supporters in the fold," according to the Globe.

Amy Siskind -- world Health Organization helped startle The New Agenda, a nonpartisan radical focused on women's issues and electing female candidates -- aforesaid that the group believes in abortion rights merely does non make them a platform issue. "We believe that once women in this country give power in government and the work and money, things like abortion will not even be on the table for treatment," Siskind said.

Gloria Allred, a women's rights lawyer from Los Angeles and a Clinton delegate, said women who supported Clinton should vote for Obama at the very least because of abortion rights. Obama supports abortion rights, and McCain favors overturning Roe v. Wade and working to finally outlaw abortions.

"We have to educate these women world Health Organization are disappointed Hillary didn't win," Allred said, adding, "We have to aid them to understand what's at wager. We can't have McCain appointing two Supreme Court vacancies" (Wangsness, Boston Globe, 8/27).
