Freepers this was brought to my attention. Seems the democrats want to ad abortion to the Equal Rights Amendment of 1972?

This article is accurate. Despite the recent scare that the ERA could be revived, the federal courts declared that it legally died in 1979. Attempts in Illinois and Virginia to belatedly ratify the ERA are nothing more than virtue signaling. The Archivist of the United States will return any Letter of Ratification from a state's Secretary of State with a memo quoting the federal court decision killing the ERA four decades ago.

If they want to insert abortion-on-demand-and-without-apology into the Constitution, they'll have to get two thirds of each House of Congress to approve it and send it to the states for ratification. That won't happen, not even in the House of Representatives.

The ERA is sadly a done deal. They only need ONE more state to ratify it. They will eventually get enough of a majority in some state or other to pass it because Americans don’t care about things like this when they vote. They slipped this one under the door when no one was looking and passed it in several states. Women stopped it in the 1970’s (God Bless Phyllis Schlafly) but no women today are going to stop it.

The lesson here is that anything the Left goes after but fails to attain will stick in their craw for literally DECADES.

They will NEVER stop trying to attain the thing, whether by deception, hook or by crook, while at the same time exacting a measure of bloody revenge from the people who denied it to them in the first place.

This explains the ongoing civil unrest in Chile IMHO.
Just the Left doing its usual thing of trying now to get what they wanted nearly half a century ago, while punishing the people who prevented it.

On the bright side, the ERA was at least an attempt to be upfront and try to use a constitutional process to enforce the flimsy and questionable SCOTUS ruling on which abortion rights are based. Now, rather than venture defeat again, they keep jumper cables next to Justice RBG. Is it still RBG? Could she be a robot programmed to act sickly and old?
