February 7, 2024: We Thank the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for the Perfect Gift for Galentine’s Day
February 7, 2024 Robert Wood

This week brings amazing news for all those of us who care about equality under law and the ERA. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled what we have been contending all along: the Equal Rights Amendment provides the American Woman with the right to her own bodily autonomy.

THANK YOU, PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT FOR THE BEST GALENTINE’S GIFT EVER!

In an opinion by Justice Christine Donohue, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed: “To treat a woman differently based on a characteristic unique to her sex,” Donohue explained, “is to treat her differently because of her sex, which triggers enforcement of our Equal Rights Amendment.” The ability to become pregnant and obtain an abortion is “unique to one sex.” By definition, then, any abortion restriction “withholds or diminishes the scope” of women’s rights, allowing them less freedom to make medical decisions than men. And so, under the equal rights amendment, these restrictions are unconstitutional unless the state can prove that they are narrowly tailored to promote a compelling government interest.”
