Betsey Stevenson called Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s argument to the Supreme Court against abortion rights because combining motherhood and work is no longer a challenge “totally absurd," adding, "The idea that abortion has served its role because there’s no longer tradeoffs is bogus." Noting economic gains women have made by controlling fertility and attaining a college degree, she said, “What you would lose out on if you were unable to complete your college degree is greater today than it would have been 30 years ago. I don’t think there’s any reason to think that our times are so different than we wouldn’t see the reverse.”
