ERA Campaign - Let’s put women in the constitution!

[paradisekendra]

Let’s put women in the constitution!  With only the 19th Amendment protecting women, how are women not secured in the US constitution?

1. Right to own property
2. Right to custody of our children
3. Right to healthcare
4. Right to work
5. Right to have our own bank account and lines of credit
6. Right to equal pay for equal work
7. Right to fight in the military
8. Right to autonomy over our own bodies in any way
9. Right to an education
10. Right to purchase sex toys
11. and more!

Women are currently only included in the act of the constitution, not the amendment.  Amendments are historically more permanent than acts and stronger legally.  Acts are laws and can be changed just like regular old laws. “Acts”, such as the 3 Equal Pay acts we’ve already needed to remind people that women deserve to be paid equally, can be overturned, repealed, or thrown out in the future unless there is a constitutional amendment, the ERA, to serve as their irrevocable foundation.  The ERA would place women into the constitution giving them full equality and citizenship.

So please, let’s ratify!  Click here -> http://virginiaeranetwork.wordpress.com/ and -> http://vanow.org/ratify for more info!
