Alyssa Milano: ‘I Don’t Have Equal Rights Under the Constitution’

Following a Congressional hearing Tuesday on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), actress Patricia Arquette urged lawmakers to pass legislation to amend the Constitution and guarantee equal rights for women. Actress Alisa Milano followed up with a video claiming she didn’t have “equal rights under the Constitution.”

Milano made the remarks during an impassioned two-minute video after the first congressional hearing on the Equal Rights Amendment in 36 years.

“I don’t have equal rights under the Constitution… It is time for the constitution to reflect the powerful principles of its first three words: We the People,” Alyssa Milano said.  “The ERA will build a wall, a wall that will actually do something against the never-ending assault on our rights from the current or future presidents.

“Ratification will make sure that all people, no matter where we fall on the spectrum of gender identity, will have sovereignty over our own bodies, at home and in the doctor’s office,” said the actress whose net worth ranges from a reported $10 to $45 million. “And it will change the face of business as companies enact recruitment, retention, and advancement programs that ensure a woman’s path to the executive suite does not stop at an executive assistant.”

Congress passed the ERA amendment back in 1972, although it fell short of the required 38 states needed to ratify it before the March 1979 deadline.

Alyssa Milano has long been involved in campaigning for the ERA. In January, she told a rally in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday that because she has a vagina, she doesn’t have “equality and justice” in America.

“My name is Alyssa Milano, and in 2019 I do not have equal rights in the Constitution,” she declared. “That’s right, because I have a vagina I do not have equality and justice.”
