She told Barnicle, “But let’s be clear. Having kids is why you’re worried about the price of gas, and that’s why you’re worried about How much does food cost?. For women, this is not a reductive issue. Divorce cannot force you to carry an unwanted pregnancy out of the economic realities of having a child.”
Referring to her idea that economic success and abortion go hand in hand, Abrams added, “And so this is it — it’s important for us to have ‘alike’ conversations. We don’t have the luxury of reducing it or separating it.”
The candidate’s comments sparked a lot of outrage online.
