#StopERA in Illinois!
The “Equal Rights” Amendment is a WAR ON WOMEN
Women Deserve equal pay for equal work, which is already protected by federal and state law.
The ERA will strip away current legal protections for women by striking down laws that favor one gender over another.
How will the ERA Harm Women? Here’s how:
Women in Combat — The ERA will force more women into front line combat.
Abortion — The ERA will strike down parental notification and consent laws that protect young girls and require taxpayers to pay for more abortions.
Age of Consent will be lowered to as low as 12-yrs-old.
Prostitution must be legalized as part of “privacy.”
Anti-Bigamy Laws will be ruled unconstitutional.
Child Support — The ERA eliminates a father’s responsibility to pay child support and alimony.
Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program will end due to the ERA.
Social Security Benefits for Widows who have chosen to stay home to raise families will be unable to receive their late husband’s benefits.
Car Insurance Premiums will increase for women because of the ERA.
Gender-Protected Restrooms and Locker Rooms will remove privacy protections for everyone.
