...repeal the ban. The lawmakers are expected to consider the issue next year, and there will undoubtedly be a lively debate. Phyllis Schlafly, leader of the fight against ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, has declared that "America is entitled to better protection than women's physical strength can give us."
