An equal rights amendment. I turn to my Constitution. I have three granddaughters. I can point to the First Amendment protecting their freedom of speech but I can’t point to anything that says men and women are of equal stature before the law. I would like to say to my grandchildren that equal status of men and women is a fundamental premise of our system. I was a proponent of the equal rights amendment. I hope someday it will be put back in the political hopper and we’ll be starting over again collecting the necessary states to ratify it.
