Albany NOW leader warns of anti feminist roadblocks at Houston conference
Sue Stevens Larsen of Albany's NOW chapter says anti feminist groups will target the National Women's Conference held today through Monday in Houston. She argues essential resolutions on child abuse, battered women, social security for homemakers and displaced homemaker training depend on passage and will be undermined if conservatives succeed. Larsen criticizes President Carter for not backing ERA and abortion funding, while planning to lobby and defend International Women's Year proposals against opposition from groups like the Ku Klux Klan and Mormon delegations aligned with conservative forces.
