101 years ago today, the House of Representatives passed the 19th Amendment recognizing the right of (white) women to vote.
Black women finally gained the right to vote with the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
It's been a very long, recent road to emancipation, and no, women do not have Equal Rights under the U.S. Constitution.
Abortion laws across the country are designed to strip women of the right to vote. If a possibly pregnant woman seeks healthcare or has a miscarriage, she can be prosecuted as a felon and lose her right to vote forever.
That's what "pro-life" is all about.
Pass the ERA. Protect emancipation and body autonomy.

@toyotabedzrock long past time to erase the debt ceiling, along with #ExpandTheCourt and grant #dcstatehood and #PRstatehood and vote out enough fascists to retake the people's House for good. Then #PassTheERA.

CW: POTUS on Roe
Statement from President Biden on the 50th Anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Decision
Today, instead of commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, we are acknowledging that last year, the Supreme Court took away a constitutional right from the American people.
Since the Supreme Court’s decision, Americans, time and time again, have made their voices heard: women should be able to make these deeply personal decisions free from political interference. Yet, Republicans in Congress and across the country continue to push for a national abortion ban, to criminalize doctors and nurses, and to make contraception harder to access. It’s dangerous, extreme, and out of touch.
I’ll continue to fight to protect a woman’s right to choose. Congress must restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law – it’s the only way we can fully secure a woman’s right to choose in every state.
