Washington, D.C. – On Tuesday, February 28, Eagle Forum will join Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) and other women’s groups at a Capitol Hill press conference following the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Equal Rights Amendment.
First introduced in 1923 and heavily debated in 1972, the ratification of an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Constitution has emerged once again and will be the subject of a hearing in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday. The U.S. House of Representatives voted to remove the time limit on the ratification in 2021, and Leftist organizations are pushing again to get it passed.
“Phyllis Schlafly and the women of the late 20th Century stood up for their rights as women and rejected the Equal Rights Amendment. They did not back down to the feminists, the media, Hollywood and almost every politician of the 1970s and 1980s. In today’s climate, when many on the left have trouble even defining the words “women” and “sex”, American women are ready to wage this battle again. We are not and have never been victims, and the liberal feminists do not speak for all women,” said Kristen A. Ullman, President of Eagle Forum.
