0:00.0 | Tonight on the readout. |
0:02.0 | Tonight, after a 49 years struggle, a constitutional amendment appears on the way proclaiming |
0:08.2 | once and for all that women have all the same rights as that other sex. |
0:14.5 | That was more than 50 years ago, and we still don't have an equal rights amendment, meaning that in America, women do not |
0:23.9 | have equal rights under law. Changing that could be a major part of President Biden's legacy. |
