From the Publisher
Thoroughly researched, carefully written, and comprehensively documented, "Grand Illusions" has already made its mark as the single best-selling volume of all time on Planned Parenthood's role in the controversial matters of abortion and sex education. No other book has so thoroughly surveyed the divisive issues, dominating personalities, legal and judicial precedents, educational and political initiatives, social consequences, and global impact of this organization and the great debates it has engendered worldwide.

A Great Book and a Must Read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grand Illusions: The Legacy of Planned Parenthood (Paperback)
I read this book in three days, it was a page-turner, very informative, well researched and well written. Dr. Grant dedicated ONE chapter of the book to the founder of Planned Parenthood, but you can read more about her in: "Killer Angel: A Short Biography of Planned Parenthood's Founder, Margaret Sanger" by George Grant. Grand Illusions is factual, and I can't imagine how anyone can argue that point. All you have to do is look at the end notes. There are hundreds of them, including many of Planned Parenthood's own publications. Grand Illusions is written with a Christian worldview and understandably this will not go well with many. If you have your children in the public school system, then you need to read this book!

Better books on the subject exist, but not bad,
By Danielle Powell (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grand Illusions: The Legacy of Planned Parenthood (Paperback)
I found this book very helpful in my research of the legacy of abortion, but I have found more helpful books. This book contained lots of information, but could definately have been presented with out all the flowery words and catchy phrases. I would recomend Intended Consequences by Donald Critchlow

Flawed and hystetrical,

This review is from: Grand Illusions: The Legacy of Planned Parenthood (Paperback)
In the rush to point fingers at Planned Parenthood for being influenced by the sentiment of the time in which it was trying to shape public policy, Grant resorts to emotionally laden vocabulary and fails to distingush the organization was hardly alone in it's ambiguty towards race and ethnicity prior to the civil rights movement.While it was encouraging Blacks and Hispanics to limit their families, the organization well into the 1960's, was encouraging white middle class familes "Let us help you plan your next child" and openly infered that they wanted clients to have large families. Decriminalization of birth control and relegalization of Abortion broadened the organization's mission and the women of color health movement pioneered a multifaced class-concious lens through which to work. Ironically, the standard of measurement blindly advocated in this book would also require public schools and accomodations to be under attack with the same venom, because they also had several policies now recognized as elitist. Disagree with Sanger if you must, but don't run around confusing the current organization with earlier operations.
