Richard NixonDoctor Spock appealed the ruling against him. Finally, it was cancelled. However, the legal battle cost Doctor Spock a lot of money. The events damaged public opinion of the once very trusted children's doctor. Fewer people bought his books. Some people said Doctor Spock's teachings were to blame for the way young people in the 1960s and 70s rebelled against the rules of society. A leading American religious thinker of that time called Doctor Spock "the father of permissiveness."
In 1972, Doctor Spock decided to seek election as president of the United States. He was the candidate of the small "People's Party." He spoke out on issues concerning working families, children and minorities. Doctor Spock received about 75,000 votes in the election that Richard Nixon won.
