(2,561 posts)A more effective strategy is to convince more women to help elect more progressives to Congress and to state governments.
By the time the ERA could be ratified, new laws enacted by Congress and right wing state legislators, and interpreted by right wing courts, could gut any useful effect due to passage of an ERA.
The SCOTUS decision is NOT about the "religious views of corporations." It is about empowering a handful of corporate executives to impose their personal interests on their employees in areas of their employees' lives where the corporation should have no authority.
This Supreme Court decision is parallel to secretly negotiating trade agreements, such as the TPP, which should be transparent to the people affected by these agreements, such as 99 percent of the people.
Merely expending time and effort on an ERA, which has languished for years, would divert the efforts of women from using their time and energy for electing progressives, which would have immediate and long-lasting results in aiding their cause.
