The Equal Rights
Amendment was sailing towards ratification in the 1970s, but ultimately failed
to get the necessary 38 states onboard to proceed. Since then, women have made
strides through labor force participation, record numbers in congress, presence
in the military and more. Yet, with attacks on reproductive freedoms, and
ongoing pay gap and concerns about an increasingly conservative Supreme Court,
advocates are pushing for the ERA again. Senior correspondent and editor on
gender issues at The New York Times Susan Chira joins me on the show to
talk all about it.
Since we last spoke
with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened,
Michael Cohen is testifying before Congress, a lawsuit seeks to stop Trump’s
national emergency resolution and a federal judge shut down the Trump
administration's discrimination against children of same-sex couples. Mark
returns to the show today to talk all about these issues and so much more.
