Reply #22: And it's not just freedom of choice [View All]

Before Roe, there was "you can't open a checking account without your husband co-signing." "You can't keep your job and be pregnant (might make the men think about how you got that way--we can't have THAT!)."

Some of my nieces tell me that it never happened. That I was the "crazy old aunt" just telling stories. That there never was a time when a woman couldn't get a loan on her own. That women have always been able to get divorces from abusive husbands.

Could Roe just be the first step to returning to "family values" in the worst way? Wake up, young chicas!
