Abortion has passed inflation to become the top issue in the presidential election for women younger than 30 since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, according to results released Friday of a survey of female voters by KFF.
About 2 in 5 in the group of young voters said abortion was their top concern in the recent survey, compared with 1 in 5 who ranked it most important in the same survey in the spring.
In the earlier edition, inflation was the top concern for younger voters, as it was for women voters of all ages. Inflation remained the top concern for women in each age group over 30 and women overall. Women overall ranked abortion as their No. 3 concern, after inflation and threats to democracy, but ahead of immigration.
Inflation has fucked all of us without personal reserves of wealth… Despite this, abortion is absolutely the #1 issue. It just goes to show how fucked up this country has become under Trump.
In case anyone is confused, abortion was made illegal in many states 100% because of Trump. He fucking did that.
The grand majority of Americans opposed the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but Trump personally installed unqualified judges that were directly tasked with this abominable decision.
Great, as long as they all get out to vote!
Bodily autonomy has marginally surpassed tenuous financial existence? What a scoop! Run that baby!!
See? I keep telling everyone that young women are going to save us. They are not in the polls because they don’t fall into the “likely voter” class.
That being said:
#VOTE!
Well, that’s good. We’re still in great danger of things turning out badly, but here’s a glimmer of hope.
I hope those women know how important it is to vote. I won’t be surprised if they don’t as a whole… Young people are often bad at turning out for elections.
Old people seem to never miss them, and they aren’t the ones that inherit the consequences of these elections. This us a big reason why everything is so fucked up here.
That’s a two-fold depressing headline for any progressive voter.
“We got all these major issues we need fixing. Health, education, economic inequality, social division…”
“Yeah, so what’s being done about them?”
“Well, lots of people are voting progressively for abortion rights.”
“Fuck. That’s too?”
Abortion is healthcare for women tho.
Exactly right, Joe.
Ladies, how do you feel about Competency and Maturity?
People can be trusted to make their own decisions in life
Pretty shitty actually, especially when politicians don’t think we have the maturity and competency to manage our own heath care.
How do you feel about Competency and Maturity?
