One of the original rightwingnuts, Phyllis Schlafly, died last week

She(R) singlehandedly set the 'women's movement' toward equality, back several decades, as she campaigned relentlessly to stop the ERA, or Equal Rights Amendment, including outlawing all abortions and birth control.

By CLYDE HABERMAN

Mrs. Schlafly, who died Sept. 5, mobilized forces to block passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, which had been ratified by all but three needed states before it was tabled.

Toward the end, her mental faculties were called into question, however, as she endorsed The Donald for president, continuing her 'doesn't have a clue' mentality.
