16. Women's rights, family sovereignty have economic impact

The despots want to roll back women's rights. They won't stop at Roe v. Wade. Voting rights, women's rights regarding their own finance will be at risk. (such as it wasn't until the 1970s that women could have credit in their own names) When women are forced to carry a pregnancy to term, the biological father will be responsible for support. Unless the unelected lying despots take that financial responsibility off the fathers, of course. But men scattering their seed here, there, and everywhere are not going to like paying court ordered child support in multiples.

Health costs will rise because women damaged by carrying a doomed pregnancy to term, or not getting immediate care after a miscarriage, or other medical situations made worse by the actions of the unelected lying despots are going to raise the price of health care across the board.

Anyway, there are a number of ways that women's health rights are tied to economy.

On top of what might happen, there are actions that are happening: some of my friends and I are boycotting r owned businesses, to the best of our ability. Not perfect, but if I decide to buy from Store B because of politics, or not buy at all, and enough of us boycott r's, it will affect the economy.
