It is shameful that this wasn’t done years and years ago. It’s about time, and anyone who stands in the way of this is showing their true colors.

Every person should have the same rights. We should have the same protections and opportunities. We the people should include everyone.

Darlene B., Pensacola, FL

I should not have to sign a petition for this to be happening. No one should need EXPLANATION on why women (the creators of all humans) deserve equal rights.

My rights as an individual have been striped away by the people in my life because I am a woman. I have been seen as an object, a service, and rarely as a person. I should have the same rights as my abusers.

This amendment will provide stronger protections in areas such as reproductive healthcare, workplace discrimination, and gender-based violence. This would ultimately lead to a more just and equitable society for women.

Andrea I., Danville, OH
