Taste the Welch's Truth
by Kathryn Lopez

Raquel Welch just explained it all.

If you need a quick primer on the birds and the bees and how a culture has been misled, the actress once declared "Most Desired Woman" by Playboy can help you out.

Welch has written a book, "Raquel: Behind the Cleavage," which might just stand out on bookstore shelves. We need it to!

In an article that coincided with her book's launch, she wrote: "Margaret Sanger opened the first American family-planning clinic in 1916, and nothing would be the same again. Since then the growing proliferation of birth-control methods has had an awesome effect on both sexes and led to a sea change in moral values."

Go, Raquel!


Further, what she writes knocks the glimmer off the rose of so-called "sexual freedom." The concept, ushered in by the pill, she says, "has taken the caution and discernment out of choosing a sexual partner, which used to be the equivalent of choosing a life partner. Without a commitment, the trust and loyalty between couples of childbearing age is missing, and obviously leads to incidents of infidelity. No one seems immune."

In an otherwise largely celebratory forum on the pill that appeared on CNN's website, Republican strategist and book publisher Mary Matalin cleverly wrote: "(P)ackages of portable liberation ushered in a generation of women determined to break free from their inferior patriarchal oppressors. And how did they manifest their superiority? Their freedom? Thanks to the pill, by casual, drive-by sex. Whoa. That really showed those stupid boys."

The feminist movement has a lot to answer for when it comes its open and enthusiastic embrace of the contraceptive mentality, which interfered with a woman's relationship with her own body, never mind her relationships with men. Of course, many of the women of the "sexual revolution" generation paid the price in their own lives, later finding that their best fertility days were long gone by the time they realized they wanted to be women, not women suppressing that which makes them most creative.

Great stuff. Who knew Ms. Welch was concealing more than she was revealing?
