Abstract
This article examines the economic and marginalizing impacts of abortion bans in the United States following the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade. We explore how varying state-level restrictions impact economic stability and access to employment, particularly for already marginalized groups such as low-income individuals and people of color. Additionally, we highlight the broader socioeconomic consequences of forced pregnancy and restricted abortion access, including financial strain, reduced career opportunities, and long-term economic instability. By focusing on these issues, this article aims to shed light on the intersection of reproductive rights, marginalization, and economic hardship and to propose counseling and research strategies to address these challenges.
