ERA Constitional Amendment, won't need Roe/Wade

[Miigwech]

I am sick and tired of the threat against women's rights. Lets go for broke and get the Equal Rights Amendment ratified. We only need one more State and then women's right will be written in stone.

1. Virginia now seems possible

if they ever get their act together and ratify it

2. I don't see how the ERA would make any difference regarding abortion

4. Voodoo law

We have some of the leading edge practitioners.

3. I'm not so sure, and never have been. In workplaces where women are treated "just the same as"...

...their male co-workers, they may still find themselves paying for a host of medical maintenance procedures for themselves because the men are not insured for those things either. And why would the men be insured for pap smears, pregnancy, and mammograms?

As long as the default patient/worker/student/human being is male we will be stuck with this situation.

We need to insist on our unique rights and needs as women, and not just as human beings who are exactly the same as men.

5. Good point

As if men obtained the right to an abortion in Roe v. Wade.....

"Sure it's equal. Men can't have 'em, so women can't either."

6. If men have the right to bodily autonomy

Then women do too.
