They are as a matter of practice unobtainable in many states that have tried to engage in moral panic over abortion, since many of the same clinics that provide such services are viewed as abortion providers. > About sexual assault cases and lack of rights pertaining to due process, I would suggest that the evidence points to the opposite: Thanks for providing a link to a broad survey of data and not a cherry picked article.

They don't have the option of birth control, what's confusing about that? > They are as a matter of practice unobtainable in many states that have tried to engage in moral panic over abortion, since many of the same clinics that provide such services are viewed as abortion providers. As far as I understand such clinics are cut off from federal/state funding, in line with the Hyde amendment, and in only three states, right? I'm not sure how this qualifies as systematic oppression of women.

        The historically popular national insurance subsidization program that is part of the ACA. But also vasectomies are an unremarkable part of what many government subsidized clinics.

        What birth control? Examples? Again, tubal ligation isn't really frowned upon and it is also subsidized. And the ACA requires health insurance...
