Abortion is economics and anyone dismissing it as a social issue [View all]

Is lying about the economic impact of an antichoice candidate in the lives of women.

It may not be economics for men, but it is economics for the rest of us.

So when you say economic issues must be highlighted but then you dismiss abortion what you are saying is 'only the economic issues of men matter'.
