- Ginsburg wrote in her 1977 book "Sex Bias in the U.S. Code" that what she calls "the equality principle" requires repeal of the federal Mann Act, which prohibits the transportation of women across state lines for immoral purposes. She wrote that this law "is offensive because of the image of women it perpetuates" of "weak women" needing protection from "bad men." [1]
