Joanie: Rick! You gotta quiz me! Ask me an ERA question! Rick: Um... okay... let's see... will the ERA wipe out the right of a woman to be supported?

According to a Senate committee majority report, "where one spouse is the wage earner and the other runs the home, the wage earner must support the spouse who stays at home"! Um.. right? Rick: Beats me. Heck, I don't even date.
