Kamala Harris Says Passing Equal Rights Amendment Will Be High Priority of Her Presidency

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris says that passing the ERA is a top, early priority in her presidency.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said at an Iowa campaign stop, we must pass the ERA and it would be "one of her first orders of business." I don't know the total poll votes, but 86% of Marie Claire respondents say PASS THE ERA.

Arizona could be the 38th state, now that more Dems are in the legislature. There is a 38 mile march scheduled for Arizona Mar. 11-13, ending at the state capitol.

And with a Dem-controlled House, Nancy Pelosi will wage all-out war against Republicans who say the time for passing the ERA has expired. If somehow Congress votes to accept the positive result of vatification by the states, it will be tied up in court for years.

One thing we know for sure is that Republicans will lie down and die before permitting the Equal Rights Amendment to become part of the Constitution. I say make their resistance part of the 2020 election year battle.

Let the Repubilcans explain to women why they oppose equality, saying that the religous freedoms of white men trump our own rights. So-called religious freedom for the patriarchy is way out of control in this country. For example, abortion was legal when the Constitution was signed. Democratic women want Republican white men on the Congressional record.
