Hinson Statement on Moving the ERA Deadline

Statement

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Women Constitution Abortion Legislative Branch

Congresswoman Hinson released the following statement on legislation that would remove the deadline to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.

"I am disappointed that I didn't have the opportunity to consider a modern, updated version of the Equal Rights Amendment. The premise behind today's resolution was Constitutionally unsound and would actually undermine women's rights and the progress we have made since the 1970s. This legislation would also expand taxpayer-funded abortion access nationwide. I will continue to fight for all women and girls -- including those not yet born." -Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
