SPOTLIGHT: The Equal Rights Amendment is a War on Women

Written by Benjamin Smith

Elise Bouc is the State Chairwoman of Stop ERA Illinois. She joins Monte and Dave on this week’s podcast to discuss the extensive negative consequences of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the state of Illinois and the nation.

Phyllis Schlafly, Beverly LaHaye, and former state representative Penny Pullen were champions of battling and exposing the ERA because of the harm to women. And one unlikely woman confirmed their grave concerns.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg wrote Sex Bias in the U.S. Code when she was with the ACLU. She wrote that at least 800 federal laws would likely be struck down – laws aimed at protecting women.

Take ACTION: Call your state representative and senator and ask them to oppose the ratification of the ERA in Illinois, call (217) 782-2000. If you don’t know your state rep or senator click here.  It’s essential for us to let our lawmakers know that this amendment harms women, their families, and our society, because many still believe the lie that it’s all about equal rights. Your calls and emails are vital tools for fighting this destructive proposal.

More ACTION:  Sign the petition to Target pledging to boycott them until they rescind their transgender bathroom policy. The Boycott Target Pledge is simple: “Until Target makes the safety of women and children a priority, I will shop elsewhere.” Go to afa.net/target for more details and to sign the petition.
