A federal judge ruled on March 5, 2021, that the deadline to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) “expired long ago” and the recent attempts of three states to ratify the proposed amendment came too late. However, supporters of the ERA are now pushing to remove that deadline and allow the ERA to be added to the U.S. Constitution, ultimately empowering the abortion industry — not women.
The ERA states, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” While this sounds as though women would be awarded more rights under the law, women stand to lose rights with the ERA. As Live Action News’ Kristi Burton Brown pointed out, “Equal rights are already part of our Constitution, as the 14th Amendment, enacted shortly after the Civil War, says that states may not ‘deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’”
The ERA was originally proposed in 1972 and after passing both the House and Senate, states were given seven years to ratify it. According to CNN, three-fourths of the states (38) were required to ratify it in order to have the ERA added to the Consitution. The deadline was later extended to 1982, but by then just 35 states had ratified it and five of them had actually rescinded their support.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
