Adapting an equal rights amendment in every state would benefit the zeitgeist and political climate. With this law intact states would not get away with sexism. “proponents argue that it could strengthen the legal basis for combating violence against women, pay inequality and maternity leave.” A vast impact it would have is the issue of men voting against the rights of the female body. My theory is that while sex-ed is dismissed and mistaught, taking away that right directly affects the lower and middle-class women. Many people can not afford their livelihood, let alone that of another. Having a baby takes time and commitment. If one is not in a safe position to commit their time and efforts to their child’s upbringing, they will struggle. I believe it’s a tactic to increase the lower and middle-class numbers so that the upper class will continue to have employees to take advantage of. The cycle repeats itself, and many families find themselves stuck in what should ideally be a temporary situation—no time for themselves and their individual growth and life experience. Instead chained to work both in and outside of their homes. Abortion is more than the unrestricted right to have control of your(woman) own body. It’s also about having control of the events in your life and what you as an individual want to accomplish. This is a vital right for women to have.
