Discussion Post: Women's Equality
Women across America are dependent upon the will of their state and the federal legislators, who are primarily male, as well as for-profit-health insurance companies; employers who provide insurance, and in some cases, religious organizations. What impact do these entities have on women's equality regarding reproductive rights as well as their socio-economic and emotional well-being?
Key issues to consider:
• Health care and gender equality;
• The current state of governmental control over women's reproductive health;
• Government funding and/or employers' refusal to provide coverage for prescription contraceptives;
• The conflict between the right to contraception and abortion vs. the religious opposition's to overturn Ro v. Wade.
