Caralee Woods: Whether it is credit cards or abortion, men shouldn’t make decisions for women. 'Grown women can handle their own business, and it is not anyone else’s to control. If we need help, we’ll let you know.'
Rep. John Curtis, R-Utah, speaks in 3rd Congressional District debate at KBYU Broadcasting building in Provo on Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022.In 1973 I landed a great job. I was hired to work for a major publisher to travel through a large sales territory to sell college textbooks to professors in universities and junior colleges. It was the early days of the Women’s Movement and Equal Opportunity Employment. I was the first woman in Texas, and one of a handful of women nationwide to do this.
Many motels were hesitant to give me a room for five straight nights, so I began showing my business card so they wouldn’t think I was staying there to “set up shop.” Tired of having to carry a lot of cash on my trips, I applied for a credit card. By then I had a nice savings account, a company car, a decent salary and good benefits. I was given a list of requirements to qualify for a card and I checked off the ones I fulfilled, which was most of them.
The Supreme Court decision to allow the states to make their own laws about women’s choice in this personal matter, and the immediate piling on of many state legislatures, is not solely about women’s choice regarding abortion. It’s aboutwomen’s rights plain and simple, telling women what’s right for them, and carrying it to the extreme.
