(9,446 posts)If money is their issue, just how much do they think they will be financially set back if they are forced to have an unwanted child? Or if their teenaged daughter comes home pregnant.

(5,557 posts)Roe being overturned is a huge blow and a huge problem... But unless we tackle the economy and inflation first, we will never have a chance to right this wrong.
Helping those of us who are not millionaires get ahead is how we will win elections

(15,440 posts)For only two choices, 29% is horrendous. Economy got 59%. 12% didn't know or refused to answer.

(17,311 posts)As outrageous as it is to overturn R v. W, that doesn't affect everyone.
The economy DOES affect every individual in the country. Granted, some can afford the downturn much easier than others, but we are all paying more at the pumps and in grocery stores and for building supplies, etc.
Now, we can certainly hope that the economy sees a turnaround before November. I don't know how likely that is -- there are many global factors -- but it would definitely help the Dems chances if we can point to a recovery in progress before people head to the polls.

(19,818 posts)Simmering pot that will flame up democratic voters and those who think it is important.
Anyway...what exactly is the Republicans plan for the economy again?
Or ANYTHING for that matter?

Purposely keeping gas high and the regular working person only sees less paycheck.
I definitely can see how that is number one especially if your not worried about getting pregnant.
