Are you as shocked as I am about the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade?
It is expected to lead to abortion bans in about half of the states.
Experts believe that it will take generations to restore abortion rights.
In the meantime, there are some very real financial costs for women due to this shocking decision…
1. Taking away a woman's right to choose if and when she has a child has serious consequences for her career and economic circumstances. Access to reproductive health care, including abortion, helped lead to increased labor force participation. It enabled many women to finish school. That increased their earning potential. It allowed women to plan and balance their families and careers.
2. Household finances are a major driver of the decision to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. The majority of women seeking to terminate a pregnancy near the gestational limits had incomes below the poverty line. Women who were denied an abortion, meanwhile, had higher rates of poverty, higher unemployment and greater need for government assistance. This, in turn, affects the economic well-being and prospects of their children, according to economists.
3. Economists are also worried that overall female health care will suffer as a result of restricting or prohibiting abortions. For many women, clinics that offer family planning services are often also the local option for preventative care, including cancer screenings and pap tests. Having easy access to these clinics plays a crucial role in their health care.
As a new dad to a baby girl, I’ll be doing everything that I can to support the expansion of women’s rights.
Make no mistake about it…
Our representatives are making these decisions.
If we want real change to happen, then we must have the appropriate people in power who have the insight to see that maintaining Roe V. Wade IS pro life!
Life to a health baby…
Life to a health mother…
Life to a healthy family…
Life to a healthy community!
