- Description
- Episode Description
- The last time Harriet Pilpel discussed feminist issues on this program, it was opposite Andrea Dworkin (#S635), by comparison with whom Mrs. Pilpel sounded like a male chauvinist. She is more comfortably positioned opposite the formidable Mrs. Schlafly. Both guests agree that, despite the demise of the Equal Rights Amendment, the feminist movement has changed the face of America--but they sharply disagree as to whether that is for good or ill. HP: "I would think it would be generally conceded that through the efforts of organizations like Planned Parenthood we have done a great deal to decrease the kind of terrible poverty, desperation, and illegal abortions which characterize the Third World." PS: "Well, that's one point of view, I think you could make quite an argument that because of the Planned Parenthood ideology--the promotion of promiscuity with contraceptives--we have all the problems of babies born out of wedlock today. Once you increase the level of people who are engaging in promiscuity, you're going to have more babies and you're going to have more poverty." Currently there is only a digitized transcript available for this episode.
