Definitely no, until the full legal ramifications are understood by all.
Show where and how this law is really needed.
To come up with any reasons for why this shouldn't pass shows that we have fellow Virginians living in antiquated times. When the legal ramifications are equality between men and women, it's the most frightened voices who fear being treated equally who squeal the loudest.
@Ron Q:
Full legal ramifications? This amendment has been written and waiting for decades.
Most recent debate in Virginia has raged for over a year.
If you haven't had the time to learn of it by now, you are too late.
"49 years is an insufficient amount of time to consider a legislative proposal" certainly is an argument that one can make, I suppose.
