3. Women outnumber men in medical school and in law school.

They also outnumber men in college completion. While there are many religious extremists who believe that women must be subservient to men and have as many children as their God chooses, they are no alone in opposing abortion, birth control, and education for women. Studies have shown that women who go to college or who pursue graduate of professional degrees prefer to marry someone with similar credentials. This preference thus leaves out many males who started work after high school or who thought they didn’t need any social or intellectual skills to attract a mate.

Reproductive choice has always been about religious objections and economic success for women that gives them i dependence from men. Think of the women of Afghanistan where a rigid religion has curtailed education for girls and no work outside the home for most women. Men are threatened by educated, successful women. The SC, the religious right, and the Republican Party all want to deny women their success by forcing them to stay home and raise children.
