Women's reproductive rights are critical to the economy. And if we don't connect that dot, we will continue to lose on both issues.
decision ending nearly 50 years of established abortion rights, ignited a burst of anger and widespread support for Democratic candidates who made abortion a centerpiece of their mid-term campaigns. But recently, as alarm about inflation and the economy has escalated, abortion rights have become a less pressing concern to voters, as if access to abortion and the economy were not intimately connected.
If you're agonizing over the loss of abortion rights, consider that it may be the clout of 85 million poor and low-wealth voters who decide them, especially in swing states where decisions often hinge on delicate margins of victory. In discussing the larger problem of ignoring the interdependence of political issues, Rev. D. William J. Barber II, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, blames the current disconnect in large part on political consultants.
Rev. Barber’s point about framing issues is well-taken. But the disconnect goes much deeper, as the road to dismantling abortion rights itself so tragically illustrates.
