'To protect the lives of women and their unborn children, lawmakers must oppose the national Equal Rights Amendment,' Emma Waters writes.
in June, the justices certified that the U.S. Constitution doesn’t provide a right to abortion.
The Equal Rights Amendment states that “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Our laws should reflect this distinction and protect the lives of both the mother and the unborn baby.The Supreme Court’s June 24 decision inin the Constitution, throws a good wrench in this.
Proof of this danger to the unborn lies in outcomes for ERA-style measures at the state level. New Mexico, for example, ratified an equal rights amendment in its state constitution. In 1998, thefound that the state’s ERA not only secured a right to abortion, but taxpayer-funded abortion at that. Instead, the ERA would enforce “sameness” in the name of equality. This sameness would harm women and threaten the lives of countless unborn children.
