The title of the lecture is "Population Control as the New Fascism". [From the cassette case label: The world has come to fear overpopulation, hence the advocates of compulsory birth control. But Germaine Greer counsels us to resist such limits on personal choice as fascist control of our bodies. She criticizes Paul Ehrlich and his family planning program in India, discussed contraception and socio-cultural factors affecting the birth rate and concludes that birth control propaganda blackmails people into sterilization programs. She tells U.C.L.A audience we must control our own reproductive functions and expose those who do not differentiate between people and population. Well-researched, harsh and humorous. Sensitive language. Recorded January, 1975.]Access StatusAccess restrictions applyAccess ConditionsAccess to this recording is restricted.
