Only 3 states give women the total right to the care they want without refusal. They are VT, NH, and AL.

2. women's rights
The only way for a real democracy to flourish is for women to have exactly the same rights as men. Political, judical, legal, economic, religious, reproductive, etc. Because virtually all societies are controlled by males, it is virtually impossible for a society to be totally non-bias. Governments all over the world argue about the rights of women to obtain birth control pills or even reproductive education, but virtually all approved viagra very quickly.
