This decision would increase child poverty. It would increase the strain on the social safety net. And it would make it more difficult for these lower income women to be able to pursue their education, to be able to get promoted at work. It would make it harder for them to feed the children that they already have.
Katie Porter discusses the economic implications of the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, emphasizing its impact on child poverty and women's ability to support their families.

I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation … And if every question, you’re going to make up a follow-up question, then we’re never going to get there.
Running a race like this isn't easy, and coming up short is hard, but democracy is worth doing hard things for.
I’m going to hold myself to that standard, to do better and to acknowledge that I fell short.
