Roe v Wade has guaranteed the right to an abortion for almost 50 years. The decision by the conservative-majority Supreme Court paves the way to about half of the 50 US states banning or heavily restricting the procedure.
Poor people get stuck in jobs that suck when they have kids. I can skip a few meals as an adult with control of myself, maybe my (hypothetical)spouse can to, but a kid needs to be fed constantly so they grow up healthy. Similar with shelter. If rent is too high, maybe I crash at friends' places, get a bunch of roommates, or do what I can with public places and shelters. You get a kid and that all becomes much harder. So you gotta suck it up and do what the boss says. You also need a job for insurance now, and kids get sick more and worse than adults do. Unionizing now carries an extra risk because you cantjust up and move if you get blacklisted in the town. Kids make doing basically anything harder because you are responsible for a human life that can do nothing on it's own for many years, and needs a ton of support, material and emotional, even when it's mostly grown. I don't know if I want kids, but I am putting myself in a strong position financially and career-wisr before I even consider it. This is a last ditch effort to force everyone back to work in the wake of quitting and unionization.
They gotta have that endless supply of cheap, expendable labor and cannon fodder.
US soldiers are increasingly coming from middle class backgrounds because of the need for so many specialists.
Even that form of social mobility has been curtailed in the past 10-20 years. Things are turning to shit faster and faster now.
