It’s been dead for 40 years.

This is a really dead horse, stop beating it.

Very few abortions are medically necessary. And men (who do not get pregnant) are not treated equally under any law that compels paying for a procedure that only women can procure. So it looks like a lot of twisted thinking is used to rationalize taxpayer funded abortion.

Isn’t this the same Amendment that would force businesses to allow trannies into the bathroom they identify with rather than set their own bathroom policy?

Schlafly won the battle over the ERA by recruiting and organizing a dedicated and effective group of women activists at the state and local levels. I knew several of them at the time. Like Schlafly, they combined feminine grace, courage, hard work, and political shrewdness. And after defeating the ERA, they went on to provide essential grass-roots support for Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980. Not bad for a group often dismissed by opponents and the news media as a bunch of nutty, worked up housewives.

Regarding proposed amendments to the Constitution that have expired, please consider the following.

Elections have consequences.

Hypothetically speaking, if after an election, both Houses of Congress have two-thirds majority lawmakers that made campaign promises to kill an amendment to the Constitution passed by the previous session of Congress for example, then the people have spoken imo. Kill the proposed amendment.

Also, citizens don’t need equal rights protections beyond the 15th and 19th voting rights Amendments imo.

• "15th Amendment:

  Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

• "19th Amendment:

  "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

Insights welcome.

She was right well before the transgenderism made it even worse.

Schlafly was the true “Feminist”.

Nothing feminine about those other feminists.

In the early 80's the Supreme Court ruled women couldn't be drafted.

IIRC part of the argument against ERA was that it would make women eligible for the draft.
