Phyllis Schlafly Speaks, Volume 3: How the Republican Party Became Pro-Life (Phyllis Schlafly Speaks)

On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court struck down abortion laws across the U.S. in the preeminent act of judicial supremacy. In response, Phyllis Schlafly and others like her began a decades-long fight to make the Republican Party a pro-life party. That fight continues to this day. This is Phyllis' story of the ongoing war to protect the lives of the most innocent among us. "[She's] been out front on so many of the most important issues of our time. [Her] work is an example to all those who would struggle for an America that is prosperous and free. Our nation needs the kind of dedicated service [Phyllis] and Eagle Forum have demonstrated. She's darned effective." - President Ronald Reagan On September 28, 2015, Phyllis Schlafly named Ed Martin as her hand-picked successor. Ed had been working as a special assistant to Phyllis for more than two years. A lawyer and bioethicist by training, Ed had previously served as chairman of the Missouri Republican Party and chief of staff to Missouri Governor Matt Blunt. Ed works out of the Phyllis Schlafly Center of Washington D.C. and lives in Great Falls, VA, with his wife and four children.
