Taft leads front line in Dallas abortion rights push
Dallas abortion clinic director Charlotte Taft described as a lightning rod for pro choice forces. She built the Dallas CHOICE group and fronts news conferences facing opposition leaders like Bill Price of Dallas Right to Life. Taft pushed city council to limit protesters bullhorns near clinics and has long been active in feminist and abortion rights movements. Her mother’s 1960 self abortion, shared in a National Abortion Rights: Silent No More campaign, deeply influenced Taft’s stance. Taft helped start Dallas NOW chapter in 1975 and led South Street Women’s Clinic as executive director from 1978.
