Women's access to abortion has been facing challenges by the conservative sociopolitical agencies across the states for decades affecting women's right to health, particularly of reproductive health. Anti-abortion groups across the states in the United States supported by conservative legislators of the state assemblies have been proposing, passing, and enacting laws designed to restrict access to abortion care threatening women's empowerment, gender equality, health, and women's rights. Objectives of this study are to identify major indicators of social development and evaluate their effects on variations in abortion policies across the states in United States. Utilizing the social development perspective, this study measures the cumulative effect of sociopolitical and economic variables on abortion policy scores of the states using discriminant analysis and One-way ANOVA. Independent variables of this study are the state's 2020 presidential election outcome, teen (15–19) birth rate, prevalence of women (15–44) without health insurance, prevalence of female poverty, availability of abortion in the state, and enrollment of women in higher education. As hypothesized, the state's endorsement in the presidential election was identified as a predictor of the state's abortion policy attribute and the extent of abortion law being neutral, supportive, or restrictive. The study found all six independent variables statistically significant and influencing the dependent variable, abortion policy score of states placing them either in the restrictive, neutral, or supportive group. It is evident from the findings that without the support of liberal voters, change in the abortion policies through state legislatives would be difficult. Our result suggests continuing advocacy for reproductive rights particularly during the electoral campaigns to make abortion laws supportive across the states.

Anthony de Jasay's book The State (1985) belongs to public-choice theory. The similarities are numerous, including a common Individualist methodology, the same normative individualist presumption, the nonromantic analysis of government, and the rejection of any 'social welfare function' and cost-benefit analysis. This essay, however, focuses on the differences between The State and public-choice theory. These differences can illuminate their understanding of the state and the possibility, if any, of limiting it. Although Jasay has produced a considerable body of work since The State, he focuses that book and use James Buchanan as the focal point on the side of standard public-choice theory. The main difference between The State and standard public-choice theory lies in their basic conceptions of the state. The state can be conceived as a servant or as a dominator. Public-choice theory adopts the first conception, even if it always keeps in mind the possibility that the servant may turn against its master. The State defends the second conception.

Education in general and adult education in par ticular will determine the future well-being of the United States. The primary goal of education in a free society is to help the individual realize his potentialities and to enable him to expand his capacity to make wise decisions. The goal of a totalitarian society is the dominance of the state. The Soviet systems has a single philosophy which gives coherence to all aspects of life; there is a single organization in this system. In the United States there are many organizations, and we can organize and associate freely and voluntarily. Leadership in the USSR is assigned. Leadership in the United States is vol untary, fluid, and multiple. The economic needs of the Soviet Union and the United States are the same, but the methods and ends differ. The basic educational curriculum of a free society is that of the liberal arts and sciences. The teachers, students, and motivations of liberal adult education vary. To educate individuals to be responsibly free requires many meth ods, techniques, and tools; the goal should be the active par ticipation by the learner. In recent years United States educa tion has put increasing importance on educating the individual for responsible freedom in his private and public roles: in the home, on the job, and in the community. We further need to educate for public responsibility. Educational opportunities for our present and future leaders should be improved and expanded.—Ed.
