- 57) Many of those who favor women's rights favor the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution. Those who favor the ERA argue that, unless it is passed, women will continue to receive lower pay for the same work, receive fewer promotions to better jobs, and be discriminated against financially. Opponents argue that the special laws that now exist to protect women are sufficient and no new law is needed. Do you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose the Equal Rights Amendment? (ERAFAVOR)
