President Biden approach to amend the Equal rights law in the constitution

President Biden’s amendment to Equal rights remains insight if his administration will remove a barrier put up by the predecessor.

The original 1979 deadline set by Congress is set to repeal the resolution this week.
The resolution, which is expected to easily pass the House but will face a tougher road in the Senate, would declare the ERA to be part of the Constitution even though the final three states needed for ratification missed both the original deadline and a later extension.

Supporters say the ERA is long-needed protection for women who face discrimination in the workplace and struggle against domestic violence and sexual harassment. Opponents argue it’s an unnecessary amendment that would enshrine in the Constitution protections for abortion, voiding any federal or state restrictions.

According to Justice Department, the only way to adopt the ERA is to start the process all over.

The official, responding on the condition of anonymity, said Biden remains committed to the ERA but respects the independence of the Justice Department. The House vote, the official said, is “the appropriate next step.”

The law once amended will be of great relief to women’s ensuring their safety in the books of the constitution at least.
