Minnesota Group Seeks to Restart Equal Rights Amendment Effort
3/05/2015
Efforts to pass the Equal Rights Amendment have gone on for decades. It was proposed in 1923. The U.S. Senate and House passed it in 1972. Since then, 35 of the 38 needed states ratified the amendment by the 1982 deadline.
The amendment would be the 28th in the Bill of Rights and would read, "Equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged or denied on account of gender."
Supporters of the ERA rallied Thursday.
