Leanne Littrell DiLorenzo A Thesis in the Field of Government for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2017 ! ! Copyright 2017 Leanne Littrell DiLorenzo ! Abstract This thesis investigates the plausibility of a new state-by-state strategy of amending state constitutions with the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) via direct ballot initiative helping build momentum to ultimately ratify the federal ERA. I have analyzed the federal ERA’s lack of success over the last ninety-four years to determine there is a dissonance between elected officials and popular opinion concerning the ERA. I have also concluded that one political party has used the ERA and restriction of women’s rights as a political tool to build their base. After my recent experience in initiating and chairing the Oregon ERA ballot initiative, I have determined that a state-by-state strategy could bring the needed awareness and momentum to help ratify the ERA in the U.S. Constitution because it would expand the pool of ERA proponents at a local level. This research determined that sixteen states were possible for a state-by-state strategy and I selected Ohio and Missouri for further research for this thesis. My research found that citizens in Ohio and Missouri support a state ERA via ballot initiative as well as citizens across the nation. ERA proponents in Ohio are receptive to the state-by-state strategy. Further research with ERA proponents in Ohio revealed key differences in the political, cultural and administrative aspects that would play a role in the success of the state-by-state strategy. Bringing state ERA’s directly to the citizens via ballot initiative is the best path forward to also build momentum toward ultimate ratification of the federal ERA. !

Chapter I Introduction to Research The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a joint resolution to establish women’s equality in the U.S. Constitution. Since 1923, the ERA has been introduced in every session of Congress. The ERA was passed only one time in 1972 and was submitted to the states but fell three states short of ratifying before the deadline. The text of the ERA resolution is: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”1 There are multiple strategies being used today to ratify the federal ERA. One strategy is to continue introducing new ERA resolutions in every Congressional session, which proponents refer to as the “start-over strategy.”2 A more recent strategy introduced in 2011 is the “three state strategy,” which would remove the deadline imposed by Congress so three more states can ratify and has been introduced every session since.3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Mary Walton, A Woman’s Crusade: Alice Paul and the Battle for the Ballot (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010), 247.

A third strategy is to continue to seek ratification in additional states even though the congressionally imposed deadline passed in 1982. Nevada is an example of this newer strategy and just recently ratified the federal ERA and was the first state to do so in forty- five years.4 Some may consider Nevada’s ratification an outlier, but proponents consider it part of the resurgence of the ERA and as an indication of momentum. Additional states have passed the ERA in one chamber of their state legislature in the recent past demonstrating further that the ERA is still under consideration. The vision of ERA proponents is to have a U.S. Constitution that after hundreds of years provides equality, which includes protection against sex discrimination. Elected officials in Congress and state legislatures are the decision makers for the ERA to move forward and elected officials have competing interests, so often follow a party platform that may not include the ERA; or they do not share the same priorities as proponents embrace. The state of Oregon passed a state ERA in 2014 via direct ballot initiative, the first ERA to pass in over twenty-years and the first state ERA ever to pass via ballot initiative.

  • Abortion Does Not Violate Human Rights
    Abortion Does Not Violate Human Rights Abortion , 2002 Reprinted, with permission, from "Why Abortion Is Moral," by Brian Elroy McKinley, 2000, found at http://elroy.net/ehr/abortionanswers.html. In the following viewpoint, Brian Elroy McKinley argues that although abortion destroys a potential human life, it is not murder. The embryo or fetus is not a separate human being because it is not able to survive outside the woman's body, he maintains. Only when a baby can live independently from its mother's body can it be granted full human rights. Until that point, McKinley claims, a fetus' rights should not supersede the rights of a woman to protect and control her body. McKinley is an Internet consultant who resides in Colorado. As you read, consider the following questions: 1. What do an ameba and a human zygote have in common, according to McKinley? 2. In the author's opinion, what is the difference between a human and a person? 3. In the context of McKinley's argument, what is the difference between physical dependence and social dependence? All of the arguments against abortion boil down to six specific questions. The first five deal with the nature of the zygote-embryo-fetus growing inside a mother's womb. The last one looks at the morality of the practice. These questions are: 1. Is it alive? 2. Is it human? 3. Is it a person? 4. Is it physically independent? 5. Does it have human rights? 6. Is abortion murder? Let's take a look at each of these questions.

Hoogen Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________ Co-Director Ann Fuehrer, Ph.D. _____________________________ Co-Director Larry M. Leitner, Ph.D. _____________________________ Reader Vaishali Raval, Ph.D. _____________________________ Graduate School Representative Heidi McKee, Ph.D. ABSTRACT CONTEXTS OF CHOICE: PERSONAL CONSTRUCTS OF MOTHERHOOD IN WOMEN’S ABORTION DECISIONS by Siri R. Hoogen Though women who have already had children make up over 60% of all women seeking abortions, common public discourse perpetuates the myth that women seeking abortions do not understand what it means to be a mother, do not know what it means to be pregnant, or are making irresponsible parenting decisions. The stories of mothers who are raising children and decide to terminate a subsequent pregnancy contain enormous potential to disrupt these discourses about motherhood and abortion. Here, tenets of feminist constructivist psychology and methods of creative ethnography including photo elicitation are combined to explore the complex personal, social, and political dimensions of mothers’ decisions to abort unwanted pregnancies. Five women were interviewed and performative narratives were constructed and reflexively and collaboratively analyzed to illustrate each woman’s process of building her personal construct of motherhood and how, or if, her construct of motherhood played a role in her decision to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. The stories indicate that women’s personal constructs of motherhood contain elements of individuality, commonality, and transition. In addition, each woman’s construct of good motherhood was central to her process of deciding what to do with an unwanted pregnancy: In short, each woman found that being a good mother meant, at least one time in her life, not continuing a pregnancy.
