On Tuesday, Democrat Stacey Abrams conflated combatting inflation with expanding abortion access.
During an interview on MSNBC, Abrams likened children to an economic burden that exacerbates the financial constraints of inflation.
"Let’s be clear. Having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas. It’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs," Abrams said.
"For women, this is not a reductive issue — you can’t divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. And so these are — it’s important for us to have both/and conversations. We don’t have the luxury of reducing it or separating it out," she added.

Earlier in the interview, Abrams claimed that abortion is an "economic issue" because women who birth children they do not want may end up impoverished.
"Abortion is an economic issue," Abrams said. "It’s been reduced to this idea of a culture war.
"But for women in Georgia, this is very much a question of whether they’re going to end up in poverty in the next 5 years because women who are forced to carry unwanted pregnancies end up within poverty— they’re four times more likely to be impoverished in 5 years," she added.
Abrams' suggestion that children are an economic burden who make the impacts of inflation worse on your personal finances was summarily condemned.
Polls show that Abrams is trailing Gov. Brian Kemp (R) by an average of more than five points, suggesting that she will lose to Kemp for the second consecutive time.
