@FeistyFeminista

Because no one else will say it out loud about Democrats, Biden and womens equal rights (the #ERA), I’m starting a thread that I hope goes viral because it will educate people enough to pressure the president to do his fucking job this year.

@POTUS #Biden is completely responsible for the #abortionbans in several states. It’s true. Here are the facts. By the numbers, so use a number if you want to argue back:

1. The #ERA is the 28th amendment to the #Constitution but #Biden refuses to allow the National Archivist to publish it — at least not before the #midtermelections

🧵How #ERA protects women's bodily autonomy!

Women need full Constitutional equality & bodily autonomy--birth control equality, equal access to sterilization, equal pay & way more. Even if it were possible to #CodifyRoe, giving us ONLY abortion rights is inadequate. #PublishERA

@GoddessOfPeace8

For those in favor of adding more steps for #ERA:
1) If we believe in equal rights, why continue this silly legal battle? Why not just stop fighting it in court & let it happen?

2) Remember we've gone through many steps already. How many is enough? #PublishERA #ERANow
@POTUS🧵

1787: The Constitution is written & excludes women. #PublishERA #ERANow scholarship.law.umn.edu/cgi/viewconten…

1848: A national women's rights movement was started. /2

1866-1868: In response to the suffrage movement, a combination of, "It's the wrong time for this," "It's unnecessary," & refusal to discuss it. We are seeing the exact same responses today! #PublishERA #ERANow /3 senate.gov/art&history/hi…

@ResistersInfo @Androphillia @afsc_org @CCW4COs @WomensAction As the @NationalNOW argued, "Congress’s decision to exclude women from the male-only registration requirement denies women a key aspect of their citizenship. To reap equal rewards of citizenship, women must equally bear its burdens" (supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/2…, p. 4).

@ResistersInfo @Androphillia @afsc_org @CCW4COs @WomensAction @NationalNOW The National Organization for Women (@NationalNOW) knows the cost of passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (#ERA) is women being subject to the draft, which is why NOW wrote the amicus curiae brief cited and has fought for women’s inclusion in the draft.

Are you against the ERA?

Adding the Ervin Amendment (that exempted women from the draft) lead to the 1970 Senate defeat of the ERA. See, Mariclaire Hale and Leo Kanowitz, Women and the Draft: A Response to Critics of the Equal Rights Amendment, 23 Hastings L.J. 199, 200 (1971).

Farmer @RepHawthorne thinks life begins when a MAN plants his SEED in her egg. Like a flag on Moon. If you plant any seed: ya can’t just plant it and ta-da: it’s alive! A tomato! A radish! A baby! For a human? In 24 weeks it will be LIFE! {AND, a CITIZEN—if BORN!

https://twitter.com/RepCawthorn/status/1517163752738766848

If a child, you might consider a man’s sperm and a woman’s egg within their own bodies also “babies.” But NO. Produce anyone of those outside the body before 24 weeks (sperm, egg, or, combo)? None of them will be a baby, Farmer @RepCawthorn . There is no “instant” baby mix.

Sure, could pick fertilized seeds out and put them in Petri dishes: with lots of science/attention: can replant: and, again, with a human, still NOT a baby for…24 weeks. And, by Constitutional Law, NOT a CITIZEN til birth. The WOMAN is the CITIZEN. SHE is BORN. @RepCawthorn

Amy Coney Barrett's remark about abortion and adoption today was absolutely reptilian. Does she think the average woman, even one who would choose an abortion, could carry a child for 9 months with no affect on her psyche as well as her body? Most women keep the child.

Giving up one's own flesh and blood for adoption is not simple - it is traumatic for both mother & child. Our foster care sytem is dangerous and poorly run. Our social safety net is nothing compared to other wealthy countries. Abortion takes place before any attachment is formed.

As to religion, let me add my religious views here because no one else has. A woman's sexual & reproductive autonomy are sacred and absolute in my faith. Because a woman risks her life in continuing the species, that sacrifice and risk should only be undertaken by her own choice.

#BackToSchool Conservatives like to insist that they revere the U.S. Constitution, though many have very little familiarity with it. There’s many more amendments than just their favorite, #2.
1/ Thread #Constitution #DemsWork4USA

We have 3 Branches of Government:
1. Legislative: makes laws; Article 1
2. Executive: enforces laws; Article 2
3. Judicial: interprets laws; Article 3

When the Constitution was written there were two entrenched factions. Federalists: supported the Constitution; wanted a strong central government,; Madison, Hamilton, and Jay wrote Federalist Papers trying to get the public to support the Constitution.

NEW: Cindy Hyde-Smith, Mississippi's first woman senator, claims the ERA is "divisive" & threatens women's rights.

The ERA says: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” mississippifreepress.org/11099/sen-cind…

“Democrats need a new reason to defend their radical efforts to destroy innocent lives—& they are hiding that cause under the guise of women’s rights,” Sen. Hyde-Smith wrote.

She thinks Dems will use it to expand abortion rights & trans rights. mississippifreepress.org/11099/sen-cind…

"Enacting the ERA could actually harm the protections that celebrate the differences between men & women in law–threatening women-only prisons, locker rooms, & Title IX protections for women’s sports, just to name a few," MS's first woman senator says. mississippifreepress.org/11099/sen-cind…

New #womenshistorymonth thread. Most people are familiar with the idea of the stereotypical 1950s #housewife, popularized by TV sitcoms, like Ozzie and Harriet and Leave it to Beaver. #whm2021 @womnknowhistory (1/15)

That imagery, though, is flawed because it overlooks the paradoxical impact of #WWII and its effect on women’s participation in the workforce. #womenshistory #whm2021 #twitterstorians (2/15)

#WWII made extraordinary economic demands on women and it pulled an unprecedented number of women into the labor force. #laborhistory #genderhistory (3/15)

Hear from @unfoRETTAble @maebirdwing & #ChristinaHendricks on why the time is now to add the #ERA to the Constitution. Take action at ERAyes2021.org! #NoTimeLimitOnEquality @elliesmeal @FemMajority @ERACoalition @SenatorCardin @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenatorDurbin

The text of the Equal Rights Amendment states "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." That's all we're asking for. #ERAnow

The #ERA was passed by Congress 49 YEARS ago, and ratified by the required 38 states. There's no excuse for denying #genderequality in the Constitution.
