Society & Lifestyle > Feminism & Women's Rights Possibility of modern women losing their "feminine grace": 5 of 19

Yes, a woman should always have the right to choose an abortion. I am sure that the majority of women in our society do not think lightly of abortion; it is a difficult and painful decision.

"Please don't think that age would have anything to do with our hiring you. I like older people; they're more reliable." That was what the 40-year old owner said to me at the interview. Okay, I'll admit I felt like kicking the little whippersnapper because he referred to me as old, but I knew in that instant that my age did m... More..
