I would assume, maybe incorrectly, but while abortion is an issue, it nowhere reaches the level of interest of the voters in terms of the cost of gas, food, bread, milk, things like that. What can a governor \u2014 what could you do as governor to alleviate the concerns of Georgia voters about those livability, daily, hourly issues that they\u2019re confronted with?<\/p>\n<p>ABRAMS:\u00a0 But let\u2019s be clear. Having children is why you\u2019re worried about your price for gas. It\u2019s why you\u2019re concerned about how much food costs. For women, this is not a reductive issue \u2014 you can\u2019t divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. And so these are \u2014 it\u2019s important for us to have both\/and conversations. We don\u2019t have the luxury of reducing it or separating it out.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly how does an abortion lower inflation? I\u2019m curious about this, as an amateur economist. It might lower demand on a micro level, but it doesn\u2019t do anything on a macro level to buying power or prices. In the long run and at the scale practiced in the US, it might depress demand a bit, but it will also depress production at the same time if it has that kind of impact \u2014 which makes it a wash.<\/p>\n<p>As for concern over prices and the erosion of buying power, Abrams is also wrong.\u00a0<em>Everyone\u2019s<\/em> worried about those rising costs and diminishing real wages, of course, whether they have children or not. However, younger families have more options for scaling up their buying power. Inflation hammers hardest on people with <em>fixed<\/em> incomes and savings \u2014 retirees and others similarly situated who are unlikely in the extreme to reproduce. What will an abortion do for <em>them<\/em>, economically speaking?<\/p>\n<p>And on a moral plane, this is just disgusting. People who don\u2019t want to get pregnant should adjust their procreative activities rationally for that outcome. Once they\u00a0<em>have<\/em> reproduced, however, the child should not have to pay for the parents\u2019 irresponsibility in lacking the will to prevent that unwanted outcome. As a human being, the child has a right to life that transcends its economic cost. Abrams takes the utilitarianism that drives abortion (as well as euthanasia) and makes it even more grotesque in her attempt to stay relevant.<\/p>\n<p>This is nothing but desperation on the part of Abrams, whose main claim to fame was election denialism<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Er \u2026\u00a0what?
