actually it WAS. and as for rights, The elimination of affirmative action has effectively ensured a wage/opportunity dichotomy (which can be confirmed here) Women continue to make less per dollar at the same jobs as men do, and there is a real glass ceiling for the majority of women in upper level jobs.

access to abortion information is denied, birth control is less accessible (now pharmacists are refusing to dispense birth control or the morning after pill) female minors may not receive abortions (or cross state lines to an abortion friendly state) they must tell their parents (which wasnt the case when I was younger)

What the HELL is wrong with you? I cant imagine HOW you think things are better today, unless its simply because you are male, and have NO concept of the reality for today's women. And the right wing wackos are rabid about eliminating Roe, because their ideal world has women at HOME and not cluttering up the schoolrooms or job market.

Btw: Family Court is one of the most misogynistic male bastions in our society.
I am VERY familiar with Family Court workings, both from the Court Clerk standpoint, from the Family Law Attorney Standpoint and from the Litigant standpoint.
