I don't think that's a political issue, but more an economic one. Healthcare costs rising reduces the access to services. More money, less impact; less money, more impact.
Trump won middle-class white women by 10 points. As a whole, women's left leanings have share an inverse relationship with their household earnings.
And it kind of makes sense. If your household has high incomes, you're not going to care about the government not funding things that you can already afford.
given that were moving back toward trickle down economics, there's going to be less money at the bottom and a bigger impact. How big, I have no idea. But I'd say significant if we start looking at the cost of unplanned pregnancies and the realistic increase we're going to see.
