In an interview on PBS NewsHour, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) emphasized the importance of abortion as a key issue, stating that it is deeply connected to economic issues such as inflation. She called for Democrats to commit to a ten-year plan to enshrine Roe v. Wade at the federal level.
Slotkin described abortion as a critical “kitchen table issue,” highlighting the profound impact it can have on a family’s trajectory and financial stability. She expressed her intention to work towards a federal right to abortion over the next decade, emphasizing the need to move beyond it being solely a state issue.
Slotkin’s remarks underscored the urgency of taking action to protect and expand abortion rights at the federal level.
