Bans on women’s reproductive rights are popping up in pretty much every red state within the U.S. It’s crucial to talk about how and why abortion has been polarized and politicized, why today’s incursion of Roe v. Wade seems more consequential than ever before, and how these restrictions impact low-income women, minority communities and the overall U.S. economy. The legislative barriers on women’s reproductive rights continue to emerge despite the fact that a majority of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. And given that affordability is one of the main reasons many women choose to have an abortion, it’s clear that reproductive rights aren’t just a social and racial issue, but an economic one.
