Former Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) said that if voters return her to Congress, she will fight to enshrine “abortion rights” and “trans rights” in the United States Constitution through the Equal Rights Amendment. Bush laid out the plan during an appearance on The Lurie Daniel Favors Show, telling the SiriusXM Urban View host that she wants to fight for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and make it the 28th amendment. The interview posted to Favors’ YouTube channel on July 29, days before Missouri’s Democrat primary. Bush said reviving the amendment would be a priority if she wins back her old seat. “I’m also going to go back and fight for the Equal Rights Amendment. I was the lead sponsor, along with my sister Ayanna Pressley, in the Congress. First time in history,” Bush said. “We hit the 100-year mark of the introduction of the Equal Rights Amendment, and two black women were sponsoring that bill.”
