Era moves on federal rights amendment despite 1977 date
A new national commission to mark International Women's Year aims to push the Equal Rights Amendment. Rep. Margaret Heckler and Alan Alda lead the ERA study group, seeking funds and outreach to win broader support. ERA faces a 1979 ratification deadline with North Dakota at 34th state. Tennessee and Nebraska later rescinded. Some experts question rescission, while Congress weighs it as ratification lags.
