Pro-choice suburban women are more concerned about the economy than threats to abortion access, according to several interviews conducted by Reuters.
Out of 16 pro-choice women of 21 total interviewed in Phoenix’s northern suburbs, only two said abortion was a priority for them heading into the midterms, Reuters reported . Instead, most were focused on the rising cost of inflation, which has skyrocketed .
“It’s the economy and jobs,” Laura Wilson, a 61-year-old pro-choice mother of three, told Reuters. She said she was disappointed with Biden when it came to inflation, as well as there being “too many homeless people on the streets.”
Phoenix’s northern suburbs have traditionally leaned Republican, but have shifted to the left in recent elections, Reuters reported.
“I really don’t have a strong opinion on it,” Maria Alvarez, a 46-year-old pro-choice mother and realtor, told Reuters. Before she spoke with the outlet, she had just spent $400 for groceries, double what she paid a year ago.
Christy Johnson, a 51-year-old self-identified independent voter, told Reuters she cared about abortion rights but said her “major, major issue” was inflation.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
