Abortion is an economic issue - and the Democrats understand that

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : The typical person getting an abortion in America has some college education - but is not a college graduate - and is low-income.
46% : This is true not just of abortion but of reproductive rights more broadly, which were on the ballot across the country.
39% : Ahead of the 8 November US midterms, the narrative went like this: Democrats focused on democracy and abortion; Republicans talked about crime and inflation.
39% : Abortion is not only an economic issue - it's a privacy issue, and a health issue too.
39% : On the flipside, women who live in states with access to abortion are less likely to live in poverty, and women who are able to delay motherhood by a year are able to increase their wages by 11 per cent.
38% : The candidates who ran on abortion were not doing so instead of economic issues.
38% : We do not know the final results of the midterm elections yet, and abortion is not the only reason that Democrats did well.
35% : Abortion is an issue for the working class.
34% : But for those who complain that the Democrats talk too much about abortion instead of "kitchen table" issues have it backwards.
31% : But it also needs to be understood that abortion is an economic issue.
