Abortion bracelet as Mother's Day gift

May 7, 2005: A gift promoting abortion might be the last thing someone searching for a Mother's Day present might have in mind, but the National Organization for Women offered jewelry that does just that.

On its website with the banner headline "Mother's Day Gift Ideas from NOW," the group listed as its first item a bracelet carrying the message "Keep Abortion Legal."

The sale is prompting some negative reaction, including comments from Kimberly Fletcher, the founder and president of Homemakers for America.

"Imagine going to mom and saying, 'Happy Mother's Day, mom. Thanks for giving life. Here's your Keep Abortion Alive bracelet.' NOW is seriously out of touch with the mothers of America," Fletcher said. "I think I'll stick with flowers."
