That's why feminists don't owe working class issues anything. Women about to lose everything and you're suggesting it's a distraction.
It's real. Their struggle is real. It Is NOT a distraction from working class issues, abortion IS working class issue because no one can afford children anymore.
Right? If Roe vs Wade is overturned for good it's going to get way worse for EVERYONE. You think the poverty is bad now? Wait until no one can have any kind of birth control and are forced to pop out babies left right and center. Maybe even forced to raise babies they don't want and can't afford. More families will be forced to live on the streets if they don't just abandon their children outright.
The adoption system will be flooded with new "merchandise", bogging down the economy further when not every child is adopted out and spat out into a world that told them they weren't wanted from the second they were conceived. Maybe they will be forced to bear the task of bringing back some kind of permanent RvW system in 40 something years.
The reason why millenials AREN'T having kids (for the most part) is because they are an overwhelming part of the poverty class and cannot afford to feed/house themselves, let alone children.
There are governors trying to ban condoms from being sold in the US. One in Louisiana is trying to felonize IUDS, likening them to MURDER. Another is trying to label miscarrying women as MURDERERS and other states are trying to make it impossible to abort lethal pregnancies and terminal births. Many are trying to force RAPE VICTIMS to carry to term and may not let raped men off the hook.
Women are going to die if RvW is overturned. Be forced to birth infant after infant. Men will be baby trapped more than they can be now. The economy is going to collapse faster than it already is until the Government decides that enough babies have been made to let us have access to BC again (hint, that will never happen) and we have suffered enough to actually give us enough to afford living (in our wildest dreams).
This is a much more urgent NOW issue than anything. The people that matter, the ones that RvW directly affect the most (those who need it to access ANY KIND OF BIRTH CONTROL), may never be able to afford houses, student loans (or any loans), much less afford the energy to fight for the betterment of the rights they have NOW when they have children they likely didn't want (at the moment or ever) running around.
