The proposed Equal Rights Amendment, while including reproductive rights, omits the word 'abortion', complicating its visibility and effectiveness on the ballot for voters.
The state lawsuit filed by Democrats targets the Board of Elections for refusing to include the word 'abortion' in the amendment's voter explanation, claiming it misleads.
Legal experts believe that the amendment could help challenge future abortion bans by framing them as discriminatory practices against women's reproductive health and autonomy.
Republicans argue that the amendment extends protections not only for abortion rights but also for issues concerning transgender athletes, reflecting their broader implications.
