Congresswoman Maxine Waters issued a fiery defense of abortion rights on Capitol Hill this week; claiming women who have the procedure are less likely to “suffer crippling financial events like eviction or bankruptcy.”
“Family planning increases a woman’s earnings and control over their own assets. […] Women who were unable to get an abortion were more likely to have more debt and to suffer crippling financial events, like eviction or bankruptcy,” said the Democrat.
