Finally, Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
With all of this in mind, please answer these questions:
1) Doesn’t this part of the Constitution already protect women just as much as men?
2) Is there any remaining need, in light of numerous protections for women in state and federal law, for the Equal Rights Amendment?
3) Are there reasons that the Equal Rights Amendment, if passed, could be harmful to women’s interests?
