There’s no doubt that Anne is being pulled in 20 directions at the same time. Not to worry — I won’t be split in two. The election may be over but we have work to do, as the assault on American women’s personhood continues by the right wing with major support from the Catholic bishops.

There is only one way to fight this determination to take over women’s bodies and financial livelihood permanently — and that is with the Equal Rights Amendment.

As an American woman, you may believe you have plenty of rights. Nada. As many as four Supreme Court Justice led by Anthony Scalia believe that you have NO rights under the American Constitution, except the right to vote granted in the 19th Amendment.

Learn more about Phyllis Schlafly’s campaign against the ERA here. How did one woman single-handedly turn back the clock for ALL American women, leaving us with NO protection under the Constitution.

Read my FP Salon analysis of the key arguments that leave women stripped of our rights, including the right-wing’s deeply-seeded fear of co-ed bathrooms. It’s amazing how social conservatives take every bodily function known to humankind and make it degrading and dangerous to civilization.

Schlafly argues that the Constitution is gender-neutral, but her good buddy Justice Scalia sets the record straight on what she really believes. Justice Scalia argues that the 14th amendment’s equal protection under the law does not apply to women — even though it has been applied by the Court to numerous women’s rights cases.

It’s tough to belive that these two soulmates have a fundamental disagreement on whether or not American women actually have any rights under the Constitution. Therefore, Schlafly must be deliberately lying when she testifies on the current state of women’s rights in America. Only an Equal Rights Amendment will made America’s Constitution gender neutral.

I quote from a 2012 Scalia Interview:

Schlafly Anti-ERA Argument #2: The Constitution Is Gender Neutral

Fielding a question from California Lawyer magazine, Justice Scalia said: “You know, if indeed the current society has come to different views, that’s fine. You do not need the Constitution to reflect the wishes of the current society. Certainly, the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn’t.”

The magazine headlined its interview with Scalia “The Originalist.” If society wants to ban sex discrimination, he said, “Hey, we have things called legislatures, and they enact things called laws. You don’t need a constitution to keep things up to date. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box… . That’s what democracy is all about. It’s not about nine superannuated judges who have been there too long, imposing their demands on society.”

Scalia had prefaced his answer, “Yes, yes, sorry to tell you that …”

In a high court ruling 15 years ago, Scalia made his views known on gender discrimination. He was the only justice dissenting in an opinion halting the 157-year-old all-male tradition at Virginia Military Institute.

It’s very possible that the only protection standing between a Supreme Court that strips American women of all rights that have been won in the last 50 years and our right to even contraception is an Equal Rights Amendment.
