PITTSBURGH (AP) - Molly Yard, the longtime liberal activist who led the National Organization for Women during the fight over the 1987 nomination of Robert Bork to the U.S. Supreme Court, has died. She was 93.
Yard died Wednesday in the Fair Oaks Nursing Home in Pittsburgh, said her son, James Garrett.
Yard was elected president of NOW in 1987 after nearly a decade on its national staff. She stepped down in late 1991, after suffering a stroke.
