ERA Talking Points*

Our “Brilliant” ERA TALKING POINTS 
​USE for ERA speeches & talks.  Brief is Better.

(not our brag; these were so-labelled by a Legislator)                        

The Equal Rights Amendment simply states:
“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state ON ACCOUNT OF SEX”.

Once passed into our U.S. Constitution, it…
  1. Makes Sex Discrimination against Males and Females a U.S. Constitutional violation. One example, public safety: Rape adjudicated as the soul-searing crime that it is. Another, fair divorce and child custody, etc.
  2. NOT an entitlement. Simply equal treatment for American Males and Females, a worthy principle. Nothing more.
  3. Statistics from already-ratified states: rates of abortion and divorce are lower there than in Un-ratified states. Women, girls are More than their uterus.
  4. The Equal Rights Amendment is Not Dead, says  
    a) Virginia’s Attorney General  
    b) the Time Limit is impotent as is not in the votable section of this Amendment, among other rationales  
    c) N.B., full Acceptance of the 2 recent state ratifications  
    d) No state’s act to rescind its vote for ERA ratification has ever been accepted. e) Our U.S. Constitution does not provide for ratification votes’ recissions/later reversal of votes. 
  5. Economists predict a 15% surge in Gross Domestic Product/GDP similar to other nations’ experiences and seconded by the IMF, EU, UN and OECD.
  6. This Amendment uniquely REQUIRES NO FUNDING and is U.N.-predicted to stabilize communities, lending healing to our Nation.
  7. State Legislatures’ Staff Analyses find no drawbacks.
  8. A recent nationwide survey demonstrates that 94% of those in All American sectors are In Favor of ERA passage. (see validated survey at www.2passERA.org)
  9. Analyses predict that wise voters, especially women, the nation’s majority, may likely flock to the polls for those lawmakers endorsing this Amendment after 100 years!
  10. According to Amendment wording, passage does not affect donors’ bottom lines, a frequent irrelevant challenge by one of the political parties .

Frequently Asked Questions
Examples of What the Equal Rights Amendment Can Change
  • Grant the power of Constitutional equal rights for equal treatment to the sexes.
  • Declare unconstitutional pervasive sex discrimination in insurance, business contracts, housing, pensions, estate taxes, Social Security payouts, credit, and so forth.
  • Guarantee females admission to publicly supported schools and state colleges, universities and vocational schools using the same standards as males.
  • Require equal employment opportunity for women in federal, state and local governments.
  • Assure that women in the military be accorded the same benefits as men as well as fully equal treatment.
  • Require the same criminal penalties for men and women and the same rehabilitation opportunities.
  • Enhance the dignity of all humankind by proclaiming equality of women and men under the law in perpetuity.
  • Propel society forward by unleashing the talent and energies of ALL people, working together to forge a civilized society. 
  • In summary, the Equal Rights Amendment would declare sex discrimination Constitutionally illegal. Two years would be permitted for correction of those practices..Americans will then be able to follow their chosen life trajectories according to their own needs, desires, and capabilities, and not simply according to their sex. FINALLY.

America will thus join other Nations created since WWII that already accord Equal Treatment (as mandated by the U.S.A. at the time).
