What about time limits?

The 27th amendment was circulating for 200 years until enough states ratified in in 1992.

As noted a court would have to decide if the time limit given for ERA ratification is legally binding.

As well as the issue of states which had rescinded their ratification of ERA.

Eleanor Roosevelt. She said women needed special protection against hazardous and “demeaning” occupations, jobs that only men should have to do.

Well, a bunch of idiots screwed that up.

Women sued for the right to be on fire departments and lobbied to be in combat units.

Logically they should not have these jobs but logic died a long and protracted tragic death starting in the 1960s.

The ERA amendment was an “abortion”

Thought the Left was for a woman’s choice?

Christians, led by Phyllis Schafly (she was the key anti-ERA figure at the time) and her Eagle Forum, argued that the ERA would lead to unisex bathrooms. Now because of the LGBTQEIEIO community, we already have a version of unisex bathrooms. She also argued that women would be eligible for the draft and look at the number of women who’ve joined the military anyway.

Moreover, five of the states that voted for it later rescinded their vote, thus complicating matters even further.>

There is no complication. The clock ran out. ERA could not get a 2/3'rds vote in Congress today as it was written in 1972.

ERA was always a fraud like most grievance movements.

The ERA rights amendment was just a learning lesson for the left. They don’t need no stinkin’ amendments. The courts, the regulatory branch, the enemedia branch and the academic branch, in synch, can acccomplish anything an amendment can do. And more.

They don’t need to “repeal” the 2A with a 28th amendment.

This is yet another reason why we need a COS.

Working against it were feminists who objected to identical rights, led by Eleanor Roosevelt. She said women needed special protection


It is always about special rights, not equal rights.

Same for the perverts and all the other special groups.
