The Equal Rights Amendment and what it would do, explained
CNN
What supporters and opponents of the Equal Rights Amendment say the amendment would do if enacted.
Backers of the ERA say it went into effect as of January 27, having met all the constitutional requirements, and should be published as the 28th Amendment.
Opponents -- and even some legal experts who support the ERA -- say the amendment is dead and has not been validly ratified, pointing to a deadline that passed, state rescissions, prior court decisions and Justice Department legal opinion.
