Virginia lawmakers ready Equal Rights Amendment ratification push
CHARLOTTESVILLE, V.A. (WVIR) - More than four decades after the original ratification deadline in 1979, the Equal Rights Amendment stands just one state short of ratification and being added to the Constitution.
Virginia’s lawmakers have pledged to hold a vote in this new session, meaning Virginia could be the state that finally gets the amendment passed.
The ERA aims to legally cement equality on the basis of sex. Ratification would end legal discrimination between men and women for things like employment and divorce.
“I think we’re definitely going to see the ERA be ratified,” 57th District Delegate Elect Sally Hudson (D) said. “We’re going to see it move quickly.”
