Insight Into the ERA
Banging at the constitutional door once again are the advocates of a proposed amendment that has been lurking in the shadows in one form or another for nearly a century. That proposed amendment is the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was first introduced in Congress in 1923, promising to end discrimination based on sex. According to the ERA website:
The Equal Rights Amendment is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. It seeks to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of divorce, property, employment, and other matters.
Now, almost 100 years later, one wonders how the same archaic message finds a place in a much-changed society fueled by “women’s empowerment.” After all, is there a rational human being alive who still thinks that women don’t already have equal rights? A look at the history of the ERA, along with its agenda, may give a little more insight.
