Abortion is a continuously explosive subject. The quality of life for many women is directly affected by these subjects. The lives of all women are not guided by, controlled by, nor limited to the issues of employment opportunities and abortion rights. The concerns of women vary with their differing roles and status. Young women are affected by courses in school, curfews, questions of equality in sports, rights to contraceptives and marriage.
Single women have concerns that go beyond equality of opportunity.
Credit, sexual harassment, housing may be relevant additional concerns. Married women want to know about property, family and contracts rights. Women who live at or below the poverty level have entitlement to extensive social benefits. Seniors have questions about gender, age, religious, race, and disability discrimination hoping that the pursuit of equal opportunity for women begins at the same starting point as men. Many states in the United States do not have local statutes protecting the equality rights of women.
