Senator Hill battles ERA with amendments in Iowa
Des Moines AP Senator Eugene Hill proposes four amendments and may add more to the Iowa Constitution ERA fight. He opposes both state and federal ERA, arguing many women oppose the measure and fear changes to family roles and housing nondiscrimination rules. The ERA faces House and Senate passage in identical form before a 1980 ballot.
