What overturning abortion law means in a nation without child care aid or family leave

As a nation we like to tell ourselves stories, about our love of family and justice. About how individual responsibility, hard work and gumption are enough to give every one of us an equal chance to claim our piece of the American dream.

But that's mostly make-believe.

Too many of us ignore the broken rungs on the ladder, the discriminatory policies, systems and laws that have preserved access and support for the privileged few. Then we look down on people – often female, often poor, often Black and brown – who struggle to pull themselves off the ground.

The Supreme Court decision Friday to strike down Roe v. Wade now serves as another legal barrier undermining social and economic justice.
