Holland takes his stand with the assurance of a man whose curriculum vitae bulges with credentials of worthy, activist moderation. He is chairman of the board of the Planned Parenthood-World Population of Greater New York and a leading member of such organizations as the Red Cross, the United Negro College Fund, the Boy Scouts of America...
...Medicine. Of all the reported side effects, the one of deepest concern to young women who have not had all the children they want, is that after they stop taking it their fertility may be reduced.

...Even at Planned Parenthood, a lot of cases don't reach us. Planned Parenthood is a middle-class organization; the idea that someone will do an abortion for you legally is a middle-class idea." A visit to the PP office confirms this comment. The PP building stands isolated in a middle to upper class world. Across the street is Bonwit-Teller, adjacent is Brooks Brothers, in the neighborhood are Lord and Taylor, Peck and Peck and other unlikely hang-outs for those women who would be trapped by the abortion laws...
