One solution being to require all states to have parental consent laws of underage girls getting abortions.…

Underage Abortion Forty percent of teenagers that have had an abortion claim that their parents did not even know about it (“U.S. Abortion Statistics”). Teenagers getting an abortion without their parents knowing is a huge issue and something needs to be done about it. One of my very close friends found out she was pregnant and she wanted an abortion right away. She wanted to go get it right away because she did not want her parents to know. If they knew, that would be a huge disappointment.…

Why Paternal Rights? While discussion of abortion often does not directly entail men’s rights, as it is much more a question of a woman’s bodily autonomy, the paternal and bodily rights of a man should be and is a part of the topic in question.

Through stereotypes such as the Jezebel (6) and Mammy (7) white Americans learned about African American culture. The Jezebel stereotype has…

The modern social culture is one of female oppression and male ignorance and thus creates a toxic atmosphere neglecting women’s rights, proving that feminism has not progressed since the 1960s and 1970s.
