“We are here, not because we are lawbreakers; we are here in our efforts to be law-makers.” — Emmeline Pankhurst, “My Own Story”

Women—a fascinating population, really. I'm sure we all look at our mothers or the women in our life as suprwoman but in the past and even now its taken so much just for them to get to where they are and just to be free. In this powerpoint I'll be talking about the suffrages women have went through throughout the past decades and possible solutions

Single Mothers

According to CAP analysis, in 2023, 20 percent of single mothers were under 30, 39 percent were in their 30s, 31 percent were in their 40s, and 10 percent were 50 or older. The share of mothers who are single mothers varies significantly by race and ethnicity. While 21 percent of all mothers were single mothers in 2023, 47 percent of Black mothers and 25 percent of Hispanic mothers were single mothers.

Pro-choice (VS) Pro-life

Emma

• What does pro-choice mean? Pro-choice in short terms basically means that everyone should have the right to decide what to do with their body

• What does pro-life mean? Pro-life means that one believes that all unborn babies should have a chance to live and not be ended by abortion.

If you'd like to get into specifics

• 13 states completely ban abortion

• 27 states ban abortion after a specified point in pregnancy

• 11 states require a person seeking an abortion to wait a specified period of time before their abortion

• 23 states require some type of parental involvement for a minor to get an abortion

It depends on where you live to determine if abortion is legalized or not. Some states have it completely legal while the others either are banned entirely or have a certain time period to when you can get an abortion.

There are two different options when it comes to abortion :

• an abortion procedure (also called in-clinic abortion)
• the abortion pill (also called medication abortion).

Both are safe and effective.

Abortion Summary

All About Georgia

Is abortion legal in Georgia? Yes. Because of a law in Georgia, abortion is banned at around 6 weeks of pregnancy and has some other restrictions on abortion access. If you are under the age of 18, you must notify a parent or legal guardian to get an abortion in Georgia. If notifying a parent or guardian is not an option for you, you can seek a judicial bypass. A judicial bypass allows you to waive the requirement for parental involvement. If you’re past around 6 weeks pregnant, you may need to travel out of Georgia to get an abortion unless you qualify for an exception. Exceptions are very limited and include:

• To save the pregnant person's life
• To preserve the pregnant person's physical health
• If the fetus is not expected to survive the pregnancy.

Amber Nicole Thurman

Amber was born on September 16th, 1993 and sadly passed away on August 19th, 2022. She was a medical assistant with a 6 year old son that passed away due to septic shock. She was having complications with an abortion pill that she took, it was a a rare complication but she had not expelled all of the fetal tissue from her body. She showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital in need of a routine procedure to clear it from her uterus, called a dilation and curettage, or D&C. Just that summer though, her state had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison. Doctors monitored her infection spread, her blood pressure sunk, and her organs began to fail. It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.

Amber did not deserve to die. The law on some states is out of this world to me and my only solution is that the men who created the law should not have that power. They are not woman, they don't understand what women have to go through while pregnant and the after affects that may come with it. So many complications may happen even resulting in death. In some states abortion isn't even legal in cases of rape or incest. Why should a women have to worry about what they can do with THEIR body while worrying about if they may get put in jail for their choice, the answer is that they shouldn't. In the future years I can only hope it gets better but with the way the world works I'm not sure it will happe any time soon.

International women's day

Later in life, she became a prominent voice in the abolitionist movement and also fought for voting rights for women, helping to shape a path from slavery and discrimination toward justice in the United States.

In 2021, Kamala Harris made history when she became vice president of the United States — the first woman, the first Black person and the first Asian American to hold the nation’s second-highest office.

As the iron-willed leader of the Women's Franchise League and later the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), she fought for women’s right to vote in the United Kingdom — by any means.

In 2023, 18 percent of employed single mothers worked part time, double the rate of single fathers. Married mothers were more likely to work part time at 21 percent, and married fathers were least likely, at 4 percent.

• In the world there are alot of single mothers according to data in 2023. Its more than likely that the father is leaving the childs life while the mother is going through pregnancy or when the child is born. This itseltis not right, women have already suffered so much. Its very hard for a mother to get a job sometimes due to their gender so when you add in them being singe it just doubles their ability not to obtain a job because its looked down upon.

Womens rights in different continents

Not going into any specific detail, when researching about the womens rights in these different continents I found a couple of breif overviews on different countries to give me an idea of how women were treated

Due to childhood sexual abuse and trauma, Angelou became unable to speak for several years, according to the National Women’s History Museum. Later, she found her voice through her writing. As an adult, she became involved in the civil rights movement and befriended both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.

Throughout her career, Ginsburg promoted causes such as financial equality for women, equality in education, LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights for immigrants and undocumented people, and rights for people with disabilities.

Who if affected ?

Now though this may not always be the case, studies show that children raised in single-mother families are at heightened risk for substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and externalizing behaviors and disorders
