ERA 2015 > 4 Years, 3 States, 1 Law Equal Rights Amendment - Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state, on account of sex.
U4E is the architect behind House Joint Resolution 47
to remove the arbitrary time limit that Congress imposed on the
ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. America is just three states
short of outlawing discrimination on the basis of sex. H. J. Resolution 47 was introduced on March 8, 2011 to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. The day serves as a reminder that the US cannot curb human rights abuses of women and girls abroad while denying its female citizens constitutional equality at home. Consider the Equal Rights Amendment comprehensive social insurance for single women and families to guarantee that the US government will finally represent men and women as equal citizens under law. ERA will provide the same level of protection across all 50 states as is now given to race, religion and national origin. Women and Girls are too important to leave out of the US Constitution. |
