More theatrics as Dem House members march on Senate after Equal Rights Amendment shot down
April 28, 2023 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

A dozen Democrats grandstanded on the Senate floor Thursday after a vote on the Equal Rights Amendment was shot down as the left attempted to push through a change to the Constitution that would have cemented abortion rights up until birth.


The leftists were led by Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Cori Bush (D-Mo.), both members of the Squad who are co-chairwomen of the Congressional Equal Rights Amendment Caucus.

They chanted as they held up a sign using propaganda to promote the amendment which sought to break congressional rules on a piece of legislation that expired over four decades ago and is not supported by more than three-quarters of states. The radical Democrats then held a press conference outside where they were joined by the Democratic Women’s Caucus.

The Senate voted 51 to 47 against the Equal Rights Amendment, a proposed constitutional amendment guaranteeing equal rights under the law regardless of sex which was also meant to enshrine abortion rights.

“What do we want? ERA! When do we want it? Now!” the group disingenuously chanted as they marched on the Senate floor.
