Abortion has passed inflation to become the top issue in the presidential election for women younger than 30 since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, according to results released Friday of a survey of female voters by KFF.
About 2 in 5 in the group of young voters said abortion was their top concern in the recent survey, compared with 1 in 5 who ranked it most important in the same survey in the spring.
In the earlier edition, inflation was the top concern for younger voters, as it was for women voters of all ages. Inflation remained the top concern for women in each age group over 30 and women overall. Women overall ranked abortion as their No. 3 concern, after inflation and threats to democracy, but ahead of immigration.
That’s a two-fold depressing headline for any progressive voter.
“We got all these major issues we need fixing. Health, education, economic inequality, social division…”
“Yeah, so what’s being done about them?”
“Well, lots of people are voting progressively for abortion rights.”
“Fuck. That’s too?”
Abortion is healthcare for women tho.
Exactly right, Joe.
