A vote will be held in the U.S. House of Representatives next week (Feb. 12 or 13, we believe) on a resolution that seeks to remove, from the 1972 ERA, the seven-year deadline for states to ratify. According to the current theories of some ERA proponents, the effect of Congress passing this resolution, by simple majority votes and without the President&#8217;s signature, would be to immediately make the ERA part of the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>We have heard that many, many House members are not yet aware of the anti-Life implications of enacting the 1972 ERA. Please push your people to call their House member now! They are hearing from the pro-abortion\/pro-ERA activists. They must hear from <strong><em>us: Vote NO on the ERA resolution, House Joint Resolution 79 (H.J. Res 79).<\/em> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If your U.S. House member is usually a reliable pro-life vote, do not assume they will vote with us on this.
