== Personal life ==
In 1970, Faye Wattleton's Parents moved to Texas where her mother preached at a small congregation outside of Houston.<ref name=":72" /> Wattleton was experiencing immense change in her occupational path as director of Planned Parenthood, Miami Valley when her father got lung cancer. By the time that she found out, he only had six months to live.<ref name=":72" /> He died that same year.
Also during this time, Wattleton's mother was struggling with the activism of her daughter. Her mother often told her that she was killing children and going against "God's word".<ref name=":72" /> Wattleton struggled to balance her faith and her activism. Her church stood at odds with pro-choice ideals. This would be a barrier in the relationship Wattleton held with her mother.<ref name=":72" />
Faye Wattleton met her future husband, Franklin Gordon, in 1972.<ref name=":72" /> He was a jazz musician whom she had met at a conference sponsored by the [[Junior League]].<ref name=":72" /> After the conference they parted, but Franklin wrote and mailed Faye poems.<ref name=":72" /> Wanting to have children, Wattleton married Gordon at the end of August in 1972.<ref name=":72" /> In January 1975, she learned that she was pregnant.<ref name=":72" /> She worked during her pregnancy by running for President of the National Executive Directors Council (NEDC) of Planned Parenthood's midwestern regional affiliates.
