...natural resources are less real than the mother's desire to remain a healthy and happy companion to her children, the closing of a nearby playground to erect an apartment building, or the prohibitive costs of higher education. In a recent poll published in Eugenics Quarterly, only two per cent of women practicing family limitation did so for "general social reasons." The pain of an unwanted child is personal. 30-33 per cent of all lower-income families and seven per cent of all college educated families experience that pain. One fifth of all deliveries in Cambridge City Hospital...
...clinic's effectiveness is seriously circumscribed by the pre-conditions of its existence; proponents of birth control services had to sacrifice the right to advertise the service and make public use of its statistics. The backwardness of Cambridge City Hospital is disturbing since 50 per cent of all Cambridge deliveries take place there; furthermore, most welfare cases and low income families receive their prenatal care and have their deliveries through the clinic because of its convenience and low cost. The argumments for "conservatism" vis a vis family planning in Cambridge are not substantive. Having Catholics on the Board of Trustees...
...control information? For my inquiry I chose census tract 15, bounded by Western Ave., Putnam Ave. and Green Street. This area ranks slightly high (about the 66th percentile) in social disorder and inadequate living conditions. Students and professors are widely dispersed among lower and middle class families, 37 per cent non-white and 14 per cent foreign-born. The sample of 80 was selected randomly from 754 families. Interviews were done in person or on the phone after a letter was delivered explaining the study. I had very few refusals (which I count as negative responses) and there...
...reprisal threat" is a realistic problem. Of the 70 responding, four were eliminated for "high suggestibility" or lack of comprehension (foreign speaking). Of 66 respondents, 62 had no objection, 2 had qualified objections ("If birth control is handled properly") and 2 had religious objections. The sample was 38 per cent Catholic, 42 per cent Protestant and 20 per cent other (7 Jewish, 4 unaffiliated, 1 Greek Orthodox and 1 Buddhist). Assuming the ten refusals to be negative, the ratio is still over five to one with no objections...
Since April Fool's Day, the anti-war movement has been running out of gas. Something called the "Academic Day of Conscience" April 15 was an utter flop--only 70 students showed up at Memorial Church for the ceremonies. Only six per cent of the Harvard Faculty could be persuaded to sign a moderately-worded statement backing draft resisters in an o so legal way. And at the latest Boston draft card turn-in, only 20 people turned...
