Equal Rights Amendment must pass to insure human rights for U.S.
women Sandy Oestreich – WNN Opinion (WNN) St. Petersburg,
FLORIDA, U.S.: “What war on Women?” some ask with a smirk. It’s
not as if it’s enough that there’s been a steady drumbeat of
regulations and legislation that increasingly restrict and
demoralize half the U.S. population, American women. No, now
they’ve come for the ultimate victory, women’s own lives. Men in
the U.S. have attempted to conquer and control women with
actions that have grown bolder since the 1970s. Right now,
attempts are at a peak again. Women have lost almost all rights
to the freedom of personhood and self-determination, one’s
usually- assumed birthright. The past’s battlegrounds in the
United States are strewn with struggling women and girls: - The
United States is the only industrialized nation without mandated
paid parental leave. - Over thirty states still allow the
shackling of pregnant women in prison during labor. -
Abstinence-only sex “education” is still well-fun
