A California lawmaker claims women need abortion<\/em> to control their family size because inflation and rising expenses have made it difficult for mothers to feed their families.<\/p>\n

In a conversation<\/a> with MSNBC host Lawrence O\u2019Donnell, Representative Katie Porter explained that she thinks the Supreme Court’s probable overturn of Roe v. Wade<\/em> will have\u00a0\u201clong-term economic consequences.\u201d She said:<\/p>\n

The fact that things like inflation can happen, and it can become more expensive to feed your kids and fuel your car is exactly why people need to be able to be in charge of how many mouths they’re going to have to feed. <\/em><\/p>\n

So I think the fact that we’re seeing this jump in expenses, that we see people having to pay more in the grocery store, pay more at the pump, pay more for housing is a reason that people are saying, “I need to be able to make my own decisions about when and if to start a family.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Porter is right that inflation and rising prices affect families \u2014 but killing a child is never the answer to rising costs.\u00a0A parent should never kill a born child to offset the burden of rising expenses, nor should they kill their preborn child in order to make ends meet.<\/p>\n
