South Carolina could be the state that finally allows the Equal Rights Amendment to be ratified and guarantee equal rights for women in the U.S. Constitution.
South Carolina could be the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment , entering a guarantee of equal rights for women into the U.S. Constitution almost 100 years after its introduction.
"With ongoing efforts by the federal and state governments to undermine equality under the law based on sex, it is clear that an Equal Rights Amendment is more important than ever," said House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler in a November statement."The resolution passed out of the Committee today will eliminate the deadline for ratifying the ERA, bringing our country closer to truly fulfilling our values of inclusion and equal opportunity for all people.
In January, South Carolina Democratic Representative Gilda Cobb-Hunter introduced an ERA ratification resolution to her state government.
