• SandyO in USA on the years of footdragging on passing of a crucial amendment to the US Constitution that would assure that sex discrimination would be a VIOLATION OF THE US CONSTITUTION, and thus provide sturdier legal footing when it occurs. It is called the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA, for short) and was written 70 years ago next year. The shame is that it seems impossible to pass! Many people view the USA as a garden of equality. True, racial discrimination and others have been passed into our Constitution and the struggles have gradually slowed, but still exist and surface into violence at times. We require that the ERA gets hearings in the legislatures of 3 more states so that it passes. We know that sexism will still be operating; men will still rape, violence and abuse of women will not stop, wages will only gradually equalize between men and women, but at least when women go before the courts about sex discrimination issues, they will "have a leg to stand on" that is now missing or unreliable, speaking of current laws, that is.

THE WAR ON WOMEN by elected officials of the Republican Party

The ERA Would Do Battle with the War on Women! This legislative war on women (and their children, and families, too, of course--we are all in this together) IS SEX DISCRIMINATION.
It's not new, and it's not going away.
Passing the Equal Rights Amendment would make sex discrimination A VIOLATION OF THE US CONSTITTUTION! A sturdy, reliable anchor against the frequent damage by sex discrimination windstorms propelled by gas-bag politicians to expand their campaign chests/ambitions via ALEC or other.
HELP us help you, male and female alike, to build this barrier to SEX DISCRIMINATION of all kinds.
Here's our latest War On Women video talking of pregnancy terminations as an example, not as the full story which would also scorn bills across the country that seek to shrink the definition of rape, blindside renactment of Violence Against Women Act, force women into further indignities, act against women's legitimate claim to person hood versus newish claims of that for the fetus and corporations, and MORE.
ERA does not regulate abortion. When passed, ERA can provide standing against SEX DISCRIMINATION wherever it happens in America. ERA would breathe fresh air into women's and men's issues, their relationships and more.
