• Then see how doctors wouldn't give birth control pills or IUDs to any unmarried woman in the 1960s
  
• Finally in the 1970s how many single mother's wanted to work in order to provide for their children but were told they should go after their dead beat ex-husbands more, or go on Welfare or put their kids in a foster home if they couldn't stay at home to look after them.
