Pat Robertson had some similar things to say, but I suspect that neither
Debbie Nathan nor Gloria Steinham were supporters of the 700 Club. BTW,
I did look at Snopes for the second quote below and didn't find it.
It is weirder than when he answers e-mail questions on the air (my
favorite part). I guess that we can equate 'practicing witchcraft and
killing their children' with the label 'Satanic Abuse'.
*"NOW is saying that in order to be a woman, you've got to be a
lesbian."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 12/3/97*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a
socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave
their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy
capitalism, and become lesbians." -- Pat Robertson, fundraising letter,
1992*
Paul Okami wrote:
It's easy and safe to blame "fundamentalist Christians" for what happen in
the USA, and consequently, elsewhere during the 1980s and early 1990s.
However, as Debbie Nathan (a feminist) points out in her work, feminism was
at least equally culpable for the entire sexual abuse and satanic abuse
panics.
If anyone recalls, Gloria Steinham was an ardent support of Bennett Braun
(who lost his professional credentials for perpetuating, apparently for
financial gain, the supposed connection between "satanic abuse" and "mpd" )
and she created a cover for Ms. Magazine which read in lurid colors,
"Satanic Abuse: Believe it, it's Real!"

Interestingly, while I believe such scares in the States are fuelled by
evangelistic Christian organizations, this is rarely the case in the more
secular UK
Jim G asks:
What are "evangelistic Christian organizations" and what specific evidence
do we have for this claim?
