ERA Linked to Potential Roe v. Wade Overturn
ERA Linked to Potential Roe v. Wade Overturn
While Women have gained many rights since then, none are subject to fully equal protection because Women still lack full constitutional equality today.
It is widely expected the court will rule against Women and prevent the ERA from being added to the Constitution.
To protect Roe and all rights for Women, three new lawsuits were recently filed in New York, Rhode Island, and Michigan. These daring cases ask the courts to establish Women’s full legal equality once and for all, validate the ERA and ensure for the first time ever that Women’s reproductive rights are grounded in a guarantee of full and Equal Protection against reversal by any Supreme Court, now or in the future.
Please support these lawsuits and spread the word so that others can help. Mainstream media other than Bloomberg News is refusing to publicize these cases even as the Supreme Court’s decision looms and media coverage about the Court’s decision is prolific. The American people speak through the states and they have made clear that they want the ERA added to the Constitution. Over 90% of people support the ERA but few understand how important the ERA is to the protection of reproductive rights. All branches of the federal government and both major political parties have usurped the will of the people by blocking the ERA. These lawsuits were filed in state courts rather than federal courts to send a loud and clear message that this country was established as a democratic republic, with shared powers between the national and state governments. The national government has blocked the ERA; the states now have a chance to unblock it and ensure full and equal rights for half the population for the first time in history!

I agree with the sentiments of the majority of the comments here. However, I am glad that this article was posted. Like the article states, 90% of people agree with the ERA….but once they read this article, perhaps they no longer will. I certainly won’t be calling any legislatures to get this crap pushed through. Let it die, like they do to the most innocent of life.
TheReal AngieChrist – A better description is “right to life”, rather than right-wing.
I thought the reason that the ERA was not adopted is because it is unnecessary. All citizens have the same rights as enumerated in the Constitution and in state constitutions. Implied or non-enumerated rights , often called natural rights, must be to what the writer is referring. These rights include: “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Enumerated rights are to protect the citizens from government. The natural rights are coupled with responsibility limiting those rights when others may be harmed. This requires a common sense of moral values, which can’t be legislated. Unfortunately we are at a point where each state must decide whether the mother’s rights supersede the child’s.or not. In the ideal world Planned Parenthood would offer adoption services for the child after this point rather than advocating infanticide.
I believe Naomi is a walking ball of confused cells. Championing human rights yet not a true thought about killing the unborn. Feminism has become a joke. You want the right to sleep around with no consequences. I am astonished at the pure stupidity of my gender. This ability does not make you equal. Valuing yourself makes you whole and leads to character. Feminism is a pretend game that has caused much harm to the family unit. you can claim they are mere cells colliding. But. We all know the truth.
The woman who fought for the right to vote and be counted as equal, they were feminists and respected themselves. This Gloria Steinem feminism is a sorry excuse.
Save your tears Naomi. You are not genuine.
