Now, where have we heard that before?”
She also noted that the Supreme Court had overturned Federal Appeals Court rulings and held that sex discrimination was not involved in a Richmond General Electric Plant’s refusal to grant disability pay for time off taken to have a baby.

The Supreme Court’s majority decision held that the company’s discrimination was on the basis of a condition, not on sex, she reported.
“Without ERA, we’ll be subject to the whims of legislators to get laws equalized,” she stated.
