Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified:
The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.
ALT President Biden declares the Equal Rights Amendment is now the law of the land guarantees all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The text of the Equal Rights Amendment contained a ratification deadline. The amendment was not ratified by the requisite number of states prior that deadline. While some states have ratified the amendment post-deadline, other states have revoked their ratification.
