Adding the so-called Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution through an illegitimate process would not ratify women’s equality. It would undermine.
Friend,
In 1972, when Congress sent the so-called Equal Rights Amendment to the states for consideration, I was not yet four years old.

Although the ERA failed, American women nevertheless achieved full equality under the law. In America today, there’s nothing my three daughters can’t do on account of sex.

Yesterday, I stood before the Senate Judiciary Committee and testified against illegitimate attempts to force this expired amendment into our Constitution.

In 2023 women and men are legally equal — but we are not the same.

Today, layering the ERA on top of existing protections would require the law to treat males and females the same in all circumstances, regardless of biology, privacy, or even safety. The ERA would harm women and girls by eliminating single-sex spaces and making it impossible for the law to recognize situations where biological differences matter.

The ERA could jeopardize hundreds of programs for women, and single sex spaces, including:
* single-sex sports teams;
* shelters for victims of domestic violence or the homeless that exclude men;
* separate women’s detention centers and prisons;
* sororities and fraternities at public colleges and universities;
* the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program;
* spousal social security benefits;
* exclusion of females from the Selective Service or draft

Though some Senators at yesterday’s hearing claimed otherwise, women’s spaces, sports teams, and safety matter. Adding the so-called Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution now through an illegitimate process would not ratify women’s equality. It would undermine it.
