This was a pleasant surprise. Looking back, Raquel Welch examines the values that drove her career and continue to drive the culture, and she finds them wanting. She makes the salient point that when the sanctity of marriage is depreciated, and sex appears to be divorced from consequences, which is the false promise of abortion, there is less need for discernment and care in choosing a marriage mate. She’s right, and we have the scourge of family breakdown to show for it.
It actually sounds like Welch is pro-life, and possibly even in the Lord or on her way, though she doesn’t say so. In any case, this is an intelligent and perceptive look at the Pill, motherhood, morality, the family and the sexual revolution. Well worth a read.
