The Real Issue Is Whether Women Own Their Own Lives & Destiny.

Women's issues go far beyond just abortion, reproductive rights, equal pay et al. The bottom line is whether women have total equal rights as espoused in the Equal Rights Amendment. All of these other issues are tangents to equal rights period. These equal rights are economic, cultural, and personal.

These other battles are mere distractions from this main theme. The language of the Equal Rights Amendment make it clear. And it should be re introduced. Ratification would decisively end all these other battles.
