Representatives of pro and anti abortion groups debated the issue of abortion on demand at the Militant Forum on October 29, 1971. The pro abortion position was advanced by Brenda Brdar, a member of Female Liberation and the Women’s National abortion Coalition; and Dr. Joan Ullyot (pronounced Elliot), a pathologist at the University of California Medical School. Dr. Frank Felice, a biologist at the University of San Francisco and Marge Szudy, a psychology student at USF argued against abortion. Following the debate, the audience questioned the panel. Commentary and music appropriate to the themes of pro-life, women’s liberation, children, and contraception are interspersed throughout the program. Produced by Portia Shapiro and Fran Watkins of Public Affairs; Technical producer Pat Roberto. Part two.
