Blog Post 2.3 "ERA is Back!"
1. The "Democrats took control of both the House and Senate in Virginia on Tuesday."
2. The Equal Rights Amendment proposed in 1972 would guarantee equal rights regardless of sex.
3. When it was originally proposed 35 states ratified it, and recently Nevada and Illinois ratified it in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
4. There needs to be three-fourths of the states to ratify the amendment, which is 38 states.
5. Congress sent it to the states to be ratified with a seven-year deadline.
6. Virginia got close to ratifying the ERA last year, but the GOP-controlled legislature ultimately rejected it.
7. Congress can literally just vote to move the deadline lol.
8. The current 27th amendment, which gives pay raises to Congress, was held off for 190 years until it was actually ratified. If that can get ratified, then the ERA can.
