The draft controversy and the ERA
i
By The Associated Press
Supporters of the Equal
Rights Amendment believe the
swelling debate over possible
draft registration for women
will boost their' cause. ERA
opponents say no, the con-
troversy will help them.
Yet neither side is beating the
drums in support of restoring
the draft - for men or for
women.
Pointing to the “growing
debate on registering women,
anti-ERA leader Phyllis
Schlafly said Wednesday there
would be no need for discussion
if the ERA — which bans
discrimination on the basis of
sex - had been ratified. She
believes it would make drafting
women mandatory.
“If we had ERA, it wouldn't
make any difference what the
American people wanted,” said
Mrs. Scbfifiy, head of Stop-
ERA. She said equality under
the ERA “means drafting girls
and putting them in military
combat.”
r Kathleen Currie of ERA
America takes the opposite
view: “This whole question on
the draft has pointed out what
we’ve said all along, that
Congress already has the power
to draft women; it has nothing
to do with ERA. Whether to
draft women is a political
decision, nota legal one.”
To become part of the Con-
stitution, the ERA must lie
ratified by 38 states by June 30,
1982. It has been approved by 35
states. Five states have
rescinded their approval, but
the validity of that action is in
question.
When President Carter called
last week for renewal of draft
registration, he did not say
whether women would be
required to register. He is
expected to decide the matter
by Feb. 9. Meanwhile, debate on
the issue has grown.
In states that have not en-
dorsed the ERA, many of the
amendment's-! opponents and
proponents are claiming the
debate over drafting women
reinforces their positions. Yet
there was no clear indication
that the draft debate would
-directly affect ERA'S
ratification.
In M™13’.....“SEl,
George Hudson, a Republican,
noted that Congress now can
decide whether to draft women,
but “if ERA beeomes part of
our Constitution, I don’t think
there will be any option."
— Florida National
Organization for Women
Executive Director Ids Handley
said a call to draft women
w^ould” “^o bably help'1 Eli A
passage because “it would be
awfully hard to deny women
equal rights if we expect them
to serve their country in time of
war.” j,...
—In Virginia, Democratic
Delegate Hardaway Marks
predicted that “if President
Carter reinstates the draft or
TegTsIratibn, it will really set
back the ERA movement
across the country,"
-An Arizona ERA opponent,
State Sen. Trudy Camping, said
the controversy is a "setback" ,
for ERA because “I'm sure the
ERA backers would be sup-
porting a draft for women. It’s
what we’ve been saying all the
time.”
