Sansom Hates Women

Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment is a no-brainer. The only reason to oppose it would be because you think women shouldn't be equal. That seems to be the stance of incoming speaker Ray Sansom, who won't venture an opinion on Florida's legislature ratifying the amendment. He says he won't talk about it because he's focused on winning elections. But considering that the majority of voters are women, what better way to win elections than to let the majority of voters you support them? If he opposes the amendment, he should be honest and come out and say it. Otherwise we'll be left to assume, since his explanation is nonsensical, that he opposes the ERA and equality for women.
