“Abortion activists will not be able to bully their way into the Constitution. As the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, ‘there is too much controversy’ over the failed push to get 38 states to agree with a radical abortion agenda,” said Students for Life Action’s Kristan Hawkins.

Brenna Lewis | March 9, 2021
The abortion lobby and their pet politicians in D.C. are trying to bring back the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) or as we call it, the “Everything Related to Abortion” amendment.

Brenna Lewis | April 15, 2020
“Anyone confused about whether the ERA is really the Everything Related to Abortion Act needs to watch Mrs. America,” said SFLA’s Kristan Hawkins. “In the three released episodes, abortion is the real star of the show, as feminists will make any deal and crush any opposition to their agenda.” WASHINGTON D.C.

Democratic legislators in the House have introduced a resolution, titled House Resolution 79 (H.J. Res. 79),
