Description

Miss Dworkin has looked into the face of pornography and seen "every possible

physical abuse and humiliation of women," and she will tolerate no compromise with it--she was the prime mover behind ordinances in Minneapolis and Indianapolis that sought to outlaw it completely. Mrs. Pilpel is clearly no fan of the stuff, but she sees anything that breaches the First Amendment as removing protections from far more than pornographers: "You and the people who agree with you would be among the first people to be suppressed." More heat than light from Miss Dworkin, but it is interesting to see the more multi-dimensional Mrs. Pilpel putting her principles up against her preferences.
