It is not in dispute that abortion is legally available in the US at the moment, so this is not a POV.
An [[Equal Rights Amendment]] was proposed in the US in 1972, but was unratified. Opponents of the amendment cited the following problems: the integration of single-sex schools; the possible recognition of homosexual marriage; and the revocation of laws that protect women in dangerous jobs, like factory or mining work.

The feminist movement in the West evolved in the 1980s with the rise of [[Post-Feminism]] which stresses that women have many rights that go unrecognized in everyday life, often by women themselves, and in the American legal structure. The feminist movement also recognizes that women have many choices, one of which, it is claimed, is [[abortion]], an issue the feminists are so vehement about defending that political commentator [[Rush Limbaugh]] coined the term "Femi-nazis" to refer to them. However, despite the opposition of many conservatives and some feminists, a majority of the American public favor the retention of the right to legal, safe abortion.<ref>http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm</ref>
