With Roe v. Wade defunct, a 'poverty shock' is coming

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that had secured the federal right to obtain an abortion.

Now a political earthquake is likely to ensue.

Abortion protections have been in place since the court’s decision in 1973, and polls show roughly two-thirds of Americans think it should stay that way. Yet the explosive opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization invalidates Roe and leaves abortion laws up to states. About half of states plan to partially or fully ban abortions, which is bound to generate storms of protest.

There will also be stark financial implications for many women who want to end a pregnancy but find they can’t. “What we’re going to see is a shock to poverty and inequality for poor women, Black women, young women in the Deep South,” economist Caitlin Myers told Yahoo Finance in a recent interview, before the June 24 decision came down. “What we will see are poor, vulnerable women, many of whom are already parenting, having children that they do not feel prepared for and suffering financial shocks as a result.”

1. And Then, Sir

The increase in poverty, crimes of desperation, and child abuse, can all be blamed on a Democratic administration, and of course on 'woke leftists' keeping God out of the schools.

From a certain point of view, it's a win-win twofer....

2. The part of this that I feel all the commentators skip over

Is that this whole thing is church driven. Patriarchy. Subjugation of women.
That’s the whole point. Puritan crap.
This isn’t fully thought out but the clear implication - do what WE tell you. You deserve it! Sin! Disgrace for doing what WE want to do too.

3. Inability to get an education, low wage jobs, the cycle of poverty starts all over again.

To be continued for generations.

4. What about these red staters....

once having another miracle, start migrating to blue states? Ugh. The financial catastrophe coming for blue state budgets will be significant.

I would surmise, without proper evidence to support this, that over half of the west coast homeless population are from red states.

F**k the SC, the GOP and evangelicals.

Have a good weekend!

Cheers!

5. Republicans will say they only want handouts.

They’ll offer demonize them and tell them to stop having so many babies. Or accuse them of having babies in order to get welfare.

6. It makes finding and retaining housing harder...

So what remedies are they offering? Slavery in some hidden away church facility where slavery and rape are commonplace?

This is why they have offered no policies, they have identified us as chattel already and are merely putting us in our places now, we don't need to know anything.

7. Republicans loathe minorities...

and what they've done is guarantee THEY WILL BE REPLACED EVEN SOONER by assuring more minority children are born.

Shoot yourself in the foot much, you racist, misogynistic fuckwits?

I hope it's tomorrow.
