Effective field theory, including pions, provides a consistent and systemat
ic description of nucleon-nucleon strong interactions up to center-of-mass
momentum p similar to 300 MeV per nucleon. We describe the inclusion of had
ronic parity violation into this effective field theory and find an analyti
c form for the deuteron anapole moment at leading order in the expansion. (
