Duluth, GA – Below is a statement from Ralph Reed, Chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, on the passing of conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly.
“An American original and conservative icon has passed and all of us at Faith & Freedom offer up our prayers for the family and friends of Phyllis Schlafly. Phyllis and I shared a friendship of over 30 years. Her influence on modern American history is hard to overestimate. She led the fight to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment, transformed the Republican Party into an unapologetically pro-life institution and inspired generations of conservative activists and elected officials. We honor her memory and her contribution to the pro-life and conservative cause.”
