Lemus highlighted a troubling connection between personal economic struggles and reproductive rights, stating, "I look at the world and it's not very pretty. I'm not ready for that yet, to bring a child into the world right now, where the economy is not OK." This illustrates how concerns about finances heavily influence her views on abortion.
As Lemus noted, "Everybody's struggling left and right," underlining the widespread economic challenges faced by individuals, which complicate decisions around starting families, further instilling urgency around abortion rights, especially post-Roe.
The position of reproductive rights in the political landscape has shifted significantly, with Lemus asserting that abortion may become the deciding issue of the 2024 election. She stated, "If Harris wins the election, it will be because of abortion and women voting for her in large part because of that issue." This signifies the potential impact of women's votes centered around abortion.
With abortion rights looming large, Lemus expresses concern about the political implications of the issue, remarking on the contrast in approaches: "Harris has made access to reproductive rights a key part of her policy platform particularly as a contrast to Trump, who helped appoint three of the US supreme court justices who overturned Roe v Wade."
