One of those men was <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.latimes.com\/2007\/sep\/29\/local\/me-graham29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Richard Alton Graham<\/a>, who <a href=\"http:\/\/now.org\/about\/history\/founding-2\/\">became the organization&#8217;s first vice president<\/a>.\u00a0Graham, a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) appointed by President Lyndon B.

Kennedy&#8217;s Commission on the Status of Women. According to Browder, Rawalt had &#8220;serious reservations&#8221; about NOW endorsing abortion because she believed NOW should avoid controversial issues.<\/p>\n<p>She was not alone.<\/p>\n<p>One member noted that if NOW added abortion to its &#8220;Bill of Rights,&#8221; Catholic members would quit. Another member declared she was &#8220;against murder.&#8221; Some suggested the issue should be left to local chapters, while another member stated, &#8220;We must be cautious. We don\u2019t want to be considered a NUT group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Friedan later\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/video\/?9556-1\/decides-political-action-prochoice\">acknowledged<\/a> the opposition, telling a NARAL audience in 1989, &#8220;When I wrote the statement of purpose in NOW, I was going to include the right to abortion. And I was talked out of it, probably rightly. For heaven&#8217;s sake, we were doing this controversial thing&#8230;. There were many founders of NOW: Catholic nuns, very militant women&#8230; one respected their religious values &#8211; and they explained to me that this was too controversial and it might split the women&#8217;s movement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Browder says reasonable voices were drowned out by students and radicals who &#8220;ha[d] shown up in unexpected numbers to cast their votes for abortion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The first resolution was put to a vote.\u00a0It failed (Yes: 32\/No 42). Then, according to Browder, a second abortion-supporting statement was proposed. And, despite what Browder described as \u201cbitter controversy,\u201d that proposed abortion resolution passed with a <a href=\"https:\/\/350fem.blogs.brynmawr.edu\/1967\/11\/19\/national-conference-of-now-minutes\/\">vote<\/a> of 57-14.<\/p>\n<p>Friedan said 150 people attended the conference &#8212; yet only 71 voted. Browder was quick to note that the math did not add up:\u00a0\u201cWhat happened to the other thirty-four votes? Did those people abstain? Did they get tired of the fight and go home? The minutes of the meeting don\u2019t say\u2026. A great mystery remains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final\u00a0proposal\u00a0to NOW&#8217;s\u00a0&#8220;Bill of Rights&#8221; was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/350fem.blogs.brynmawr.edu\/1968\/01\/15\/message-to-all-now-members-from-president-betty-friedan\/\">published<\/a>\u00a0the following year, stating:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>NOW endorses the principle that it is a basic right of every woman to control her reproductive life, and therefore NOW supports the furthering of the sexual revolution of our century by pressing for widespread sex education, provision of birth control information and contraceptives, and urges that all laws penalizing abortion be repealed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Abortion quickly became a <em>primary<\/em> focus for NOW, which disturbed NOW\u2019s founding vice president, Richard Graham.
