Dem messaging still misses out on using LINKS.
I have posted about "links" several times but it still seems that Dems do no want to us links in their messaging.
For example, the abortion rights issues is linked to inflation and other economic issues is ways that most are overlooking. A family that is already nurturing a special needs child, discovering that their next child has serious birth defects that will assuredly cause problems for the baby and potentially major harm to the mother may want to terminate the pregnancy for obvious reasons. They also many not . But that choice should be left to them. The emotional and economic costs of raising more than one child with special needs is not something that every family, regardless of economic security, can or should be forced to handle. Maybe the mother was already using birth control that didn't work. Or maybe the couple was trying to have a child without special needs. What ever. Termination of the problem pregnancy should be between the woman and her doctor.
And the push to force all women to carry a pregnancy to term regardless of medical issues or life situations for the mother and child seem counterintuitive to me. Wealthy, privileged women will always be able to find a safe way to terminate a pregnancy legally or secretly if only by call the procedure something else. They always have access to doctors, who for a price, will put anything on paper. Poor and disadvantaged women rarely have that option. Thus it seems that the current policy that overturned Roe will have the affect of supporting the births of more minority children than increasing the relative number of non-minority babies born. And the babies born to disadvantage white women who will no longer have abortion support will produce more children with less chance of becoming productive citizens.
There is a myriad of linkages to other social and economic issues that have nothing but negative impact as a result of overturning Roe. I only hope that the political impact far outweighs all other impacts and sends the GOP back under their rocks.
