Women in the USSR are accorded equal rights with men in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social and political life. The possibility of exercising these rights is ensured to women by granting them an equal right with men to work, payment for work, rest and leisure, social insurance and education, and by state protection of the interests of mother and child, pre-maternity and maternity leave with full pay, and the provision of a wide network of maternity homes, nurseries and kindergartens.That is the sole intent of the Equal Rights Amendment—to turn the US Constitution into a communist constitution.
— 1936 USSR constitution, Article 122
Women and men have equal rights in the USSR.
Exercise of these rights is ensured by according women equal access with men to education and vocational and professional training, equal opportunities in employment, remuneration, and promotion, and in social and political, and cultural activity, and by special labour and health protection measures for women; by providing conditions enabling mothers to work; by legal protection, and material and moral support for mothers and children, including paid leaves and other benefits for expectant mothers and mothers, and gradual reduction of working time for mothers with small children.
— 1977 USSR constitution, Article 35
Women in the People's Republic of China enjoy equal rights with men in all spheres of life, political, economic, cultural, social, and family life.
The state protects the rights and interests of women, applies the principle of equal pay for equal work for men and women alike and trains and selects cadres from among women.
— Red China constitution, Article 48
The ERA had an expiration date built into it.
That expiration date has passed.
So it is unlikely to become part of the Constitution even if Virginia passes it.
“The 15 states whose legislatures did not ratify the Equal Rights Amendment by the 1982 deadline are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, and Virginia.”
The “equal rights” activists are reaping what they sowed with Title IX. Turns out the best woman, in the legal/affirmative-action sense of the word, is a man pretending to be a woman.
Get to the back of the bus, feminazis!
The same thing will happen with the ERA.
It’s a thing of beauty when the Leftists get the unintended consequences of what they shoved down everyone else’ throats.
The Equal Rights Amendment had passed both houses of Congress by the required 2/3 vote, then was submitted to the states for ratification.
The legal problems as I recall are:
The time limits set for passing the amendment have long passed, decades ago.
A few states which had ratified the amendment later rescinded their ratifications. Legally, nobody knows the status of those states actions.
It’s clear that the liberal view will be, that time limits for ratification can be ignored, and that states which rescinded ratification of the amendment can also be ignored.
I predict a Supreme Court ruling will eventually happen, if indeed the liberals claim that Virginia would put the amendment over the top for ratification.
And five States have rescinded their passage.
“Five states – Idaho, Kentucky, Nebraska, Tennessee, and South Dakota – have attempted to withdraw their approval of the Equal Rights Amendment. According to precedent and statutory language, however, a state rescission or other withdrawal of its ratification of a constitutional amendment is not accepted as valid.
So they are really five more short.
I only have one question for the so-called activists.
Are you ok with men taking over women’s sports?
I’ll judge how much you really care about women’s rights based on your answer.
personally I want to be equal with women .... so pass it already
One of the assurances made by ERA backers at the time was “No, men are not going to be allowed to use women’s bathrooms.”
I have had no problems with the idea of equal rights for women and men. The problem I now have is that during a period of uncertainty about what is actually a woman or a man is not the time to amend the Constitution in this regard. This gender nonsense must be dealt with first. I for one, refuse to aknowledge transgenders by their chosen identity.
If we want the CONSTITUTION followed, we need to stop bitching about Republican candidates in the November elections and simply VOTE FOR THEM.
...otherwise crap like this becomes the LAW OF THE LAND.
There is no middle ground, not anymore. Sorry.
Soros is pouring money into Virginia races, especially local DA’s, judges.
"There’s a hitch: A 1982 ratification deadline set by Congress and other thorny questions are bound to hold up the efforts in court, many legal experts say."
The fact that the EPA is long past its deadline for ratification doesn’t mean anything to lawless, desperate Democrats.
Since PDJT is covering our backs, patriots need to contact their state lawmakers and demand that they officially kill their state’s support for the long expired ERA.
We don’t want the EPA to be a loose cannon for the 2020 elections.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
Note that pro-LGBT activist judges have been politically amending the ERA to the Constitution. Such judges would predictably used the ERA to kill our basic constitutionally enumerated protections imo.
Equal Rights in a country where women can murder their babies because they have different genitalia, skin color, ‘disability’, or are multiple offspring than they “wanted”.
Kill a baby because you didn’t want a girl.
Kill a baby because you didn’t want a black baby.
Kill a baby because you don’t want a child with Down Syndrome.
Kill a baby because you only wanted one, not twins.
Equal rights? Feminazis need to get REAL.
