This should answer any questions one might have about the Equal Rights Amendment.
As for me, I support both the Equal Rights Amendment and the Balanced Budget Amendment. If you read through the
text of the latter, it also provides that if a clear majority (60%) feel that it's necessary to have a deficit, they can do that. It's not as if it would completely tie the hands of the United States from acting no matter what as some seem to be claiming.
As for the Federal Marriage Amendment, that would be nothing less than a complete desecration of the Constitution if added. The Constitution should affirm rights to the people and restrict the government from denying them; it should not itself deny them.
