39. Without reproductive freedom, women are once again stuck.

Thu May 19, 2022, 07:00 PM

May 2022

Women who cannot use birth control, or have access to abortions are back to the old days. Women had a hard time getting an education or training because they had children to take care of.

They had limited access then to good jobs to support themselves or children.

And if they are having children every year like in the old days, it is hard to leave an abusive marriage. Back in the day, women were stuck in bad marriages for this reason.

Modern women were able to leave, they had options.

Take away women's options, they are stuck.

With a reliable and safe birth control method, and access to legal abortions, women had a freedom that was unparalleled in human history.
