Eagle Forum, the national, conservative, pro-life, pro-family grassroots organization started in 1972 by the late Phyllis Schlafly, is still alive and well and going strong. It got its start after Mrs. Schlafly, already well-known as a conservative, syndicated columnist, successfully led the national battle to defeat the liberal Equal Rights Amendment, that was being pushed and promoted by the feminists. Phyllis found out that ERA really should have been called “the Equal Abortion Amendment,” because that was the key component of it. The feminists wanted free abortions available for all women across the nation, paid for with taxpaying dollars.
