ERA battle over Equal Rights Amendment in Texas
The nationwide ERA push faces trouble as Texas debates rescinding ratification. Barbara Vackar notes likely few more states will ratify this session while the opposition, led by anti ERA forces, cites abortion links and fears of economic change. Reports detail lists of so called authorities, with authorship contested and several names deceased or misattributed. Dr. Joe Witherspoon and Prof. Scott Powe Jr. express nuanced views. Powe supports not reversing Texas, and Witherspoon warns of ERA's potential impact on Roe v. Wade.
