He recently spoke with economics professor Caitlin Myers about the impact of abortion bans.
Myers said bans hurt women's economic agency, access to education, and careers.
How abortion bans strip women of their economic agencyWhen lawmakers and judges outlaw abortion, they immediately erase a wide array of options for the estimated one in four women who have an abortion in their lifetimes.
"Women's earnings are a lot closer to men's, and this is true in the United States and other developed countries."
By diminishing women's economic power, abortion bans exclude women from fully participating in their lives and in the economy, keeping them politically and economically dependent on men for their survival.
