Phyllis Schlafly on the Equal Rights Amendment | Phil Donahue Show 1974
One of Phyllis Schlafly's most well-known and quoted television appearances was on the Donahue Show in 1974. She fielded questions from the crowd and took praise and criticism alike for over an hour, defending her positions soundly with a smile the whole time. As the battle against ERA and radical anti-family forces continues, there's no better time than now to see and learn from Phyllis's timeless techniques and still-timely arguments in defense of America's women.
