Planned Parenthood Federation of America has chosen a new president. Gloria A. Feldt, 53, became head of Planned Parenthood’s Phoenix affiliate in 1978 after serving as executive director of the affiliate in Odessa, Texas. Feldt, who married at age 15 and had three children by the time she was 20, said she understands the importance of insuring that “women have the access and the legal right to make their own choices about childbearing.” Feldt indicated that Planned Parenthood needs to be “vigorous and pro- active in setting the tone” for the pro-choice debate and noted that the company’s clientele has changed from families with multiple children wanting to know how to stop to couples planning their families and talking to their children about sexuality.
