[Polycarp]

• Based on a report she co-authored ("Sex Bias in the U.S. Code," Report for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, April 1977) and on her previous decisions, these are some of the positions she has expressed in the past:
  • The traditional family concept of the husband as a breadwinner and wife as a homemaker must be eliminated.
  • The federal government must provide comprehensive child care.
  • The Homestead Law must give twice as much benefit to couples who live apart from each other as to a husband and wife who live together.
  • In the military, women must be drafted when men are drafted, and women must be assigned to combat duty.
  • Affirmative action must be applied to equalize the number of men and women in the armed forces.
  • The age of consent for sexual acts must be lowered to 12 years of age.
  • Prostitution must be legalized. She wrote, "Prostitution as a consensual act between adults is arguably within the zone of privacy protected by recent constitutional decisions."
  • All boy and all-girl organizations must be sexually integrated, as must all fraternities and sororites. The Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts must change their names and their purposes to become sex-integrated.
