Some of the rich are pro-choice women, and some rich men have pro-choice partners or pro-choice themselves. The Republican Party won't take away rich women's right to abortion. What the Republican and Democratic Parties have and will continue to allow is more and more restrictions on working-class women's ability to have abortion or give birth and raise children.

What we need but don't really have is a working-class feminist movement defending comprehensive reproductive rights and freedoms -- both women's right to have abortion freely and women's right to give birth and raise children with as much government and community support as possible. -- Yoshie
