As she prepares to vote for the first time, Nirmala Singh says she can still feel the trauma of gender-based violence that’s been rippling through her life since childhood. When she was 5 years old and living in Guyana, her aunt was murdered by a former intimate partner. Moving to the U.S. as a teenager, Singh was surprised to see the same problems from back home reflected in the country she had once viewed as holding the promise for a better life.
Now 26, she’s watched for years as other immigrant women in her Queens neighborhood of New York — some who share her Indo-Caribbean identity — die in similar circumstances. A lack of access to reproductive care is one of the biggest holes she sees. Singh got her U.S. citizenship this year, and she’s using it to cast her first ballot.
“When Roe v. Wade was overturned, I remember you could hear this eerie silence for women, especially immigrant women, across the United States,” said Singh, who works with the South Queens Women’s March. “I’m worried that we’re not going to have the same freedom, the same access that we did before — that these services will be taken away. So that’s what’s really driving me to the polls.”
Health care is the top priority Asian American voters are taking to the ballot box, according to the 2022 Asian American Voter Survey; experts say a big reason for that is the overturning of of Roe v. Wade and the mounting restrictions on reproductive rights across the country. With studies finding that Asian American and Pacific Islanders show some of the highest levels of support for abortion rights, community leaders are expecting this issue to drive Asian Americans to the polls — many for the first time ever.

Nirmala Singh, karma’s a bitch.
I like to laugh at these “poor (Democrat) me” stories from the media....
Vote your womb and not your wallet and lose both!
The problem the Democrats have right now is their voters go the grocery store, see the insane prices and then get so angry they forget all about abortion, J6 or whatever the latest talking points are.
“Asian Americans have some of the highest levels of support for abortion rights “
Now that you have lost the Hispanic vote, now that you have lost a devastating percentage of the Black vote, you hope to pull it out with the “Asian” vote?
Especially after you leftists discriminated AGAINST Asians wanting to gain entrance to universities.
Is THAT ALL YOU’VE GOT?
Someone tell these women no one has taken away their right to commit infanticide.
Many are thinking twice as they are the target of violence in the cities; ie, thrown in front of trains, stabbed, shot, assaulted etc.
My experience is that Chinese in the cities absolutely love and spoil girl children - and there are lots of them. Walk around Guangzhou’s Tianhe District on a Saturday night and you encounter vast crowds of young females, reminiscent of 80’s “mall culture” in the USA . Out in the villages, it is often a different story. School classes will sometimes have thirty boys and one girl - with commentators not really bothering to expound on just how that happened.
Whether a child is delightful, or a monster depends on how it is socialized.
My mother, born in 1917 told me that although children may have been named at birth, they often were not called by a name until it was clear they were going to survive childhood. She and everyone she knew had experienced childhood deaths among neighbors, family and friends. It wasn’t unusual that of four or five children one or more died early. So, not considering a child a person, even though it was now likely they’d survive childhood may be something engrained in the culture.
My mother said that her father, born in the previous century, told her that in his childhood many children were not named until they were almost adults and then, they often chose their own names. His family was German, so I don’t know if that datapoint is from Germany or Ohio.
For some context, during the moon landing in 1969 I yelled from the living room to the kitchen where my mom was working, “Mom! They’re about to step out on the moon!” She yelled back, “I saw Orville and Wilbur Wright perform at the Ohio State Fair.” From her context, when the whole town would run outside to wave and yell at a passing plane it was equivalent to the moon landing.
“Lack of access” should be translated “Make the taxpayers foot the bill.”
To work.
I do not believe that.
great if killing your baby is more important than your safety and that your children wont be able to go to the college of their choice because Democrats will discriminate against them because they are Asian, they go ahead!
In 2020, Asian-Americans voted more overwhelmingly for Biden than every other demographic groups except for blacks and Jews.
“Mom! They’re about to step out on the moon!” She yelled back, “I saw Orville and Wilbur Wright perform at the Ohio State Fair.” WOW! Does that ever summarize 20th Century technological progress! My grandfather once mentioned casually over dinner that he had, as a young man, machined custom parts for Lindbergh’s famous plane. It would have been in the Dakotas. My dad was a buyer for JPL when they were designing and building the lunar lander and Mars orbiter. He even had commemorative tie tacks to prove it!
The sad part is here they are not forced into abortion like they are where they came from. Here they could have all the children they wanted yet it’s been pushed on them to have abortions so much it’s all they know.
And they are seeing that the perpetrators are released on no bail to repeat their crimes.
