the courts will protect your rights--the ERA and other legislation not necessary.


Who here besides me remembers being told that time and time and time again back in the early days of the current women's movement? That was one of the big arguments against the ERA, against legislation aimed at overturning discrimination, etc. THE COURTS WILL PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS.

didn't believe it then, and most certainly will NEVER believe it of the courts in this land.
