1.) How Ruth Bader Ginsburg Helped End the Military's Policy of Forced Abortion

“Before 1970, women serving in the military were discharged for becoming mothers. This meant that pregnant women in uniform were forced to make a choice: Leave the military to become mothers or risk an illegal (and then-dangerous) abortion.”

“Ginsburg won a stay for Struck's discharge, arguing that the only conspicuous difference between men and women was that "only women become pregnant; and if you subject a woman to disadvantageous treatment on the basis of her pregnant status, ... you would be denying her equal treatment under the law."

2.) The original documents are located in Box 9, folder “Defense Department - Abortion Policy (1)” of the Philip Buchen Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library.

3.) The US air force gave her a choice: your baby or your job

“As a new culture war rages around abortion, scholars believe a 1970s case taken up by Ruth Bader Ginsburg shows the lengths the US government has gone to in the past to control women’s sexuality”
