ERA reintroduced in US House

A friend on Facebook sent me the information that Equal Rights Amendment has been reintroduced in the US House of Representative. I did a little bit of web searching on the topic. Thanks to Sappocrat at Lavender Newswire for a link to the bill introduced by Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Judy Biggert (R-IL).

As always, the ERA is short, simple, and to the point. Look, I'll quote the entire proposed amendment right here:

SECTION 1. Equality of rights under the law shall
not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

SECTION 2. The Congress shall have the power to
enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

SECTION 3. This amendment shall take effect two
years after the date of ratification.

Thanks to the R.E.A.L.Courage web site for posting this link to ERA web sites and information sources.
