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.

The ERA turns the US Constitution into those constitutions. And it’s the left making the association between the 19th Amendment and this amendment, in the context of stating their goals.

“It was a huge step forward for American women when, exactly 100 years ago, they finally gained the guaranteed right to vote with ratification of the 19th Amendment.”

Big, big mistake. Huge.

A big, foreseeable problem with the ERA is this imo. Until patriots clean up the judiciary swamp, desperate, career Democratic and RINO lawmakers are simply going to let activist judges get away with legislating equal rights laws from the bench.

Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.

Women and men have equal rights in the USSR.

Which is to say, the women have none. But neither do the men, so it all works out. I guess.
