I realize Abrams wants to save jobs for her state. Some of the jobs the state would lose might be those of poorer women who are at risk of losing their reproductive rights, in addition to their jobs.
In general, labor strikes have also had the unwanted effect of leaving striking workers without a paycheck, which they can ill afford.

So this troubles me greatly.
