Constitutional Equality Amendment

» Francessducks - CEA

I am doing a paper on the Constitutional Equality Amendment. I am looking for many different opinions on the subject. I also want to know what kind of laws this will influence and how you think it will affect society.

"Section 1 Women and men shall have equal rights through out the United States and every place and entity subject to its jurisdiction; through this article, the subordination of women to men is abolished.

SEction 2. Al persons shall have equal rights and privileges without descrimination on account of sex, race, sexual orientation, martital status, ethnicity, national origin, color or indidence.

Section 3. This article prohibits pregnancy discrimination and guarantees the absolute right of a woman to make her own reproductive decisions including the termination of pregnancy.

Section 4. This article prohibits discrimination based upon characteristics unique to or stereotypes about any class protected under this article. This article also prohibits discrimination through the use of any facially neutral criteria which have a disparate impact based on membership in a class protected under this article.

Section 5. This article does not preclude any law, program or activity that would remedy the effects of discrimination and that is closely related to achieving such remedial purposes.

Section 6. This article shall be interpreted under the highest standard of judicial review

Section 7. The United States and the several states shall guarantee the implementation and enforcement of this article"
