Maude Mulls Abortion
By Karen Kubby
As part of the Iowa City Public Library's Carol Spaziani Intellectual Freedom Festival, the Public Issues and Education Committee of the Emma Goldman Clinic will host a screening and discussion about an episode of Maude on Tuesday, October 2 at 7pm in ICPL Room A. Maude, the socially controversial, sometimes radical sitcom featuring a strong female lead character played by Bea Arthur, ran on CBS from 1972 to 1978.
In an episode that ran early in the series, the 47-year-old Maude finds out that she's pregnant and decides, with her husband Walter, that she would have an abortion that had just been made legal in New York state.
After the screening of this episode, a discussion will be facilitated by Board members of the Emma Goldman Clinic. Refreshment will be provided.
