Page 12 HAWKEYE UNITED METHODIST October, 1980 Commitment worth, equal to everyone else. Thus, I do not want my state to allow anyone to diminish my rights and opportunities to be all that God calls me to be. My sense of justice recognizes the constributions women have made, are making, and can make throughout the state. I do not want either my contributions or those of other women to be lost or diminished because the state allows discrimination between men and women." (Mary Lees, Ames) "I support the Iowa ERA because it is a HUMAN RIGHTS amendment, not just a woman's rights amendment." (Eleanor Mooney, Bettendorf) "The ERA is important to me as a teacher. I am concerned that every student be given the opportunity to prepare for a career of their choice and that upon employment, they receive equal pay. I know that in the future the ERA will continue to be important to me since I plan to marry soon and eventually raise a family. I support the ERA because it will ensure my legal and financial rights as a working woman and as a homemaker." (Charanne Moore Marhsall, Chicago) "Under the ERA, choices in life will still be mine - career, wife, employed, non-employed, homemaker. The passage of the Equal Rights Amendment will probably not affect my way of life or the choices I make but it will assure for my children and grandchildren such things as equality of career choices and equality of salary scale." (Katheryn Moore, Council Bluffs) "Passage of the proposed Equal Rights Amendment would be beneficial to all Iowans." (Rev. Frank Nichols. Clinton) "As President of our local United Methodist Women, I look at the Iowa ERA in relationship to our purpose statement, In our Purpose it says, '....to experience freedom as a whole persons through Jesus Christ.' ... the Iowa ERA will help assure women and men this freedom. It is my hope and prayer that our United Methodist Women will support the Iowa ERA by voting yes November 4th." (Judy Piper Harlan) "The scriptures reveal that God made man and woman to be equal. In both Genesis accounts of creation we note that together, women and men, were commissioned to fill the earth and subdue it. The scriptures declare that God created us male and female, equals to share in His world as His people. Therefore, I believe that the ERA is Christian, and as Christian people we should support its passage in the state of Iowa." (Rev. Leonard L. Root, LeMars) "Even though Iowa has been very progressive in passing and interpreting laws to favor equal rights, we are still vulnerable to having all that changed. Legislatures do change their minds.. the motorcycle helmet bill one example of this. :Laws are reinterpreted by the courts. At this time majority of the men and women in the legislature are supportive of equal rights for women. However, this may not always be the prevailing attitude in the General Assembly. Passage of the Iowa Equal Rights Amendment will insure women and men equal rights under the law." (Janet Stephenson, Ames) "For me the Equal Rights Amendment is a workable tool for reinforcing the expressed Christian belief that we are all created equal." (Virginia Stone, Indianola) "I support the ERA because I believe in the whole gospel of Jesus Christ." (Dodie Tanner, Clear Lake) Rosalie Brown is president of Woodbine Manufacturing Company which provides jobs for 33 families in the Woodbine area. Active in both church and community, Brown was elected first women member of the town council and second women member of the local school board. Currently, she is President of UMW and a member of the Board of Trustees for Westmar College. Former lay leader of St. Timothy's Church, Cedar Falls. Jane Teaford now serves on the Administrative Board and sings in the church choir. Teaford is president of the Iowa League of Women Voters. "I support the Iowa ERA because it is so inherently right!" (Jean Teaford, Iowa City) "I doubt that any document has ever had more read into it than the constitutional amendment on Equal Rights. Surely as we approach the 21st century, with all our advanced technology, we will be willingly to see that all of our people are treated fairly and equally under the law." (Sue Terry Mediapolis.) "The opportunity to... make women full partners..begins here in Iowa with the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment" (Don Typer, Mt. Vernon) "I am working toward the day when women can be truly equal under the law; when families will not suffer if a father chooses to remain at home to share in the child rearing; when a woman can choose to be the primary breadwinner and can be assured an equal salary, benefits, and promotion opportunities." (Harold J. Wells., Des Moines) " All persons, infants through elderly, need strong, caring, loving relationships throughout their lives; relationships with primary family, the extended family, as well as the Christian community. I support the Iowa ERA as one important step in the process of strengthening these relationships. This will have the ripple effect of freeing more persons, both women and men. to provide the nurturing and care necessary for all persons. To have rights and equal responsibilities means that all persons have equal opportunity to make use of their God give gifts. (Jan Wescott, Des Moines) An invitation... to more information to more involvement Call 515-283-1991 extension 209 ERA Insert Prepared for Iowa Boards This insert was prepared in consultation with the Iowa Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women Conference Council on Youth Ministries and Conference Board of Church and Society.
