An Inclusive Litany
7/10/00
PBS aired a documentary by Ken Burns, Not for Ourselves Alone: The
Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, that omitted
any reference to the early feminist leaders' strong opposition to
abortion as "the ultimate in the exploitation of women." Burns
explained that he didn't want the film to be "burdened by present and
past differing views on choice."
