While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.

I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

    You know who wasn’t affected by the abortion ban? Anybody with enough money to move or travel.

    “I’ve got the means and time to travel hundreds of miles if I need an abortion and I’m not that bothered that many don’t.”

    Got it…

      Whether or not the abortion ban affects me directly doesn’t change the fact: Everybody is affected by wage suppression.
