[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The right wing really wants to pretend abortion has nothing to do with economics. Stacey Abrams has spoken out and just FYI, right wingers are all kinds of mad. Here’s her quote: “Right now we are walking away so often from the real issues that people care about. Abortion is an economic issue. It’s been reduced to this idea of a culture war. But for women in Georgia, this is very much a question of whether they’re going to end up in poverty in the next five years because women who are forced to carry unwanted pregnancies end up within poverty — they’re four times more likely to be impoverished in five years.”

Expect to hear right wingers wail and misrepresent this quote, but they won’t say it in full because she’s right.[/quote]

+1. Abortion has everything to do with economics, as any mom whose struggling to pay the bills (or even any mom who can readily pay the bills) can tell you. Or, like me, someone who was trying to crawl out of the desperate working class into a more stable life. But the right wingers and the Catholics don’t want people comfortable, not at all. The billionaires want us desperate so they can exploit us for slave wages (see recent Koch lawsuit against student loan relief), and the Catholics want to traffic our babies through their publicly funded, highly discriminatory adoption “charities”.

Enough is enough. There is no bigger economic issue to the normal person than the size of their family. Hard stop. [/quote]
