...critics, Harris' activities amount to eugenics: bribing befuddled women to give up their reproductive rights. "Two hundred dollars could lead these women to make a decision they would later regret," says Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "It is unethical because they cannot give their informed consent." American Civil Liberties Union lawyers and a host of university bioethics scholars concur, claiming the addicts are insufficiently protected--even by the 30-day consent period and counseling required by law before federal funds can be spent on sterilization...
...limits, even though it's hard to regulate. As a medium for hate speech, the Net may be even more dangerous than print because it can put far-flung movement members in instantaneous contact. "The [Nuremberg] website takes it to even a higher level," says Planned Parenthood president Gloria Feldt. When Buffalo, N.Y., abortion doctor Barnett Slepian was killed last fall, she says, "his picture was crossed out within 15 minutes."

Last week White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen suggested that the whole "misunderstanding" over the remarks might have stemmed in part from the distortions of the notetaker "who did violence" to what Kissinger's man had said...
Last week the hassle over Sonnen-feldt's ideas continued as the Times also printed a summary of his remarks. He was quoted as saying that U.S. policy in Eastern Europe should "strive for an evolution that makes the relationship between the Eastern Europeans and the Soviet Union an organic one." The use of the word organic seemed to imply that he was advocating that the Soviet Union and its satellites should form one whole-a position calculated to infuriate not only G.O.P. conservatives but also ethnic groups with roots in Eastern Europe...
