ERA Will Finish -
What Was Only Started

By Abigail Van Buren - 7

@ 1980 by Untyorsa Prove Byndioate

DEAR ABBY: I am m puzzled by.your continue support of

the Equa) Righta Amendment. It is my understanding that ~ |

thie amendment ie not necessary because women already

are very well protected under the United States Consti- ‘

tution.

I am confused. Wilt you please explain i in. plain language _f.
PROTECTED ENOUGH _

why we need the ERA?

DEAR PROTECTED: You may not be as “pro.

tected” as you think, You don't say in which state you

live, but if your husband dies or leaves you, are you
sure you'll be provided.for? Even if you are protected
in your state, millions of American women in other
states are not, and I believe that afi American women
should have the aame protection and equality that ia
guaranteed to men under the highest law in our
nation.

Don't be deceived; as things stand today, they dq
not! The Constitution — as interpreted by the
Supreme Court — does not give equal rights to
women. If it did, we wouldn't have needed the 19th
Amendment in order to gain the right to vote.

There are too many discriminatory laws on the
books to cite them individually, but when Penn-
sylvania adopted the ERA, 300 state laws had to be
rewritten in order to give women equal rights with
men.

We need ERA ao that all women wiil be protected
regardless of where they live.

DEAR ABBY: This is in response to DISAPPOINTED,
who felt cheated because the bridal couple didn’t open their
wedding gifts at the reception. ©

Gift giving should be a private, loving act between the
givera and recipients — not a show for the benefit of othera.

It ia a atrain for the newly married couple to stand for

hours opening gift after gift, trying to show equal enthu- |

‘siaem for those that are nothing to write home about as
compared to the more expensive and. i impressive presents.

I vote for opening wedding gifta in private. If the .

newlyweds want to display their gifts later, fine, but they
shouldn't make a. public show of it.

. DEAR PERSON: I agree. And consider the feelings

of those who shopped for hours to find an appro-
priate and imaginative gift, only to watch the bride
unwrap the fourth toaster, third blender and a fifth
Crockpot!

Mi

DEAR ABBY: I have had epilepsy all my life, but
fortunately I am able to keep it completely under control
with medication. Because ao many people who travel
depend on daily medication these daya, I have a suggestion

that might be helpful: Never pack ail your medication in

your luggage, and never carry it all in your purse.

I pack as much medication in my luggage aa I’ need for
the trip, and carry the same amount in my puree. I never
carry it all in my puree; neither do I pack it all. Puraea can be
stolen and luggage can be Jost.
