Reaganites Push ERA Out Of Platform At GOP Meeting
Reagan supporters win initial platform approval dropping ERA backing and backing a constitutional abortion ban. ERA advocates vow to press their case to the full platform committee, while some leaders predict hurdles and possible floor battles at the convention next week. The ERA plank shifts to state ratification stance with 38 states needed and Congress keeping mid 1982 deadline. The anti abortion plank also tightens language backing a constitutional abortion ban and limits taxpayer funding of abortion.
