Abortion warning
PA Wellington It may be a mistake to make abortion the main focus of the women's movement, according to the former chairman of the Abortion Supervisory Committee, Mrs Vivienne Boyd. Speaking to the Wellington branch of the Women’s Electoral Lobby, she also said that in advocating community child care, the women’s movement must be careful it
did not take women out; of one straitjacket — within the home — and put them straight into another — the man-made world of the paid workforce. The most important aim for the movement was to get women into decision and pol-icy-making positions. Working their way up through the paid workforce was not the only way to achieve this, she said.
