The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) Passes the Illinois House

It was a sad day yesterday when our State House voted 72-45 to ratify the ERA.  The Senate passed it back in April.

5,000 Signatures Needed by Friday to Stay in the Fight

Dear Friend, As I mentioned a few months ago, Oregon is the only state that does not have any kind of regulation on abortion, despite the many efforts to persuade state legislators.
