I totally agree with the views of Theodore H. Loy and Jim Kiefer in the Oct. 4 Pantagraph. In 1920, it was ratified in our Constitution that women could vote. It was called women’s suffrage. Jokingly, we have suffered ever since.

Seriously, a wise man who I knew of made the statement that “This would be the beginning of the end of our nation.” Ninety-six years later, we are getting close to the end, if it continues the way it’s going. Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative, recently passed away. She was an anti-women’s rights activist with a law degree, two-time candidate for Congress and a successful businesswoman.

I remember when she supported John Stormer’s book, “None Dare Call it Treason,” in 1964. Both were Christians and exposed communists in our government. Actually, we don’t know what goes on behind the scenes. Today is no different, except that it’s pretty clear that organizations like the ACLU exist that want to take all reference of God out of our society.

Phyllis offered dire warnings that the ERA’s passing of equal rights for women would lead to unisex restrooms and women being drafted into the armed forces. So it goes, and the leaders of our nation are to blame for these shameful acts.
