Are there still laws in America that discriminate against women?

[buddhallah_the_christ]

I know there are quite a few laws in America that discriminate against men. I was wondering if you have some examples of ones that discriminate against women. I am aware that there are many other aspects of society (equal pay for equal work, sexism, etc) that affect women negatively more than men. But, I am trying to find out which if any laws actually discriminate against women.
Do we really satisfy any sex equality in the country?

Yes.

If you're on line and can access Google ...

Oh never mind.

Let's just go with White Male Repubs are failures because of women, gays, children, vets, blacks, Hispanics, yadda yadda.

Women can't register for the draft.

I wonder why NOW hasn't demanded a change to that particular law.

I would say "No". But there is still a tough discussion "on air" . There are various state laws regarding abortion that prevent women from fully enjoying their right to bodily autonomy. May we call it a for of discrimination against women? Is abortion a right (at the full sense of this term) for every american woman?

The Equal Rights Amendment didn't even pass

Drug abuse or reckless behavior that causes the death of an unborn fetus?

Because its supporters started realizing it would eliminate women's protected legal status.
