Schlafly Not Role Model Say GOP Leaders
Former Republican National Chairman Mary Louise Smith says most GOP women see themselves as feminists and Phyllis Schlafly is not their role model. Smith cautions against party leaders being used by the right wing as she notes GOP women are becoming more conservative and aware of feminist tendencies. Mary Crisp agrees the party should back women's issues to win more female voters. Pat Hutar says Schlafly aims to build a personal base using women’s issues. Schlafly reportedly tests a race against Senator Charles Percy for Illinois Senate next year.
