What is worse: a national shortage on baby formula or limited abortion rights? How you answer this question will determine how you vote in the mid-term 2022 elections. Interestingly, the national media (and the president of the United States) remains largely silent on the shortage. In place of the inability to feed the nation’s infants due to a baby formula shortage, national news coverage focus is on the potential loss of the ability to kill other babies in utero. This fact shows the sad state of America’s media and government. Will you vote be influence by baby formula or abortion?

Biden and the Woman’s Vote

Let’s put aside what a woman is for a moment…according to MSNBC, 57% of women voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. This number all but assured a Biden victory in 2022. How these women vote in the 2022 mid-terms and the 2024 presidential elections could also determine those elections. The fact that many of these Biden voters cannot now feed their infant and toddler children will exacerbate the continual problem of higher costs for everything as inflation shows no signs of stopping. Woe to the party in power when a mom cannot feed her child.

Baby Formula Shortage Hitting Critical Mass

According to the New York Times, 31% of formula is out of stock nationwide. To mitigate this shortage, retailers like CVS are limiting customers to three baby formula products per purchase. Formula companies have committed to providing formula to all babies, but the shortages continue. Moreover, the cost of the formula available for purchase is up 18%, according to CBS News. The cause? Supply-chain issues, labor shortages, materials shortages, and recalls. Regardless, the shortage has reached critical mass and mothers are worried, and they should be. Biden remains largely silent. The administration’s strategy, as of today, is “we are working on it…”

Mothers Know Best…2022 and Beyond

President Joe Biden has his share of critics on the right. Such critics he can easily write off as extreme and not “in touch” with his needed progressive agenda. This baby formula shortage could be the single greatest threat to his agenda—not Covid or inflation. If you do not agree, read for yourself this piece by Inae Oh at the progressive online magazine Mother Jones. Her closing comments could spell doom for Democrats in 2022, if not 2024.

A failure to address an everyday struggle affecting countless parents, caregivers, and of course, literal humans who by definition rely on others for their basic needs is bound to give credence to the notion, fair or not, that life under the Biden administration just isn’t working out. That it sucks, that we’re living the ramifications of inflation, and the government seems a bit too chill about it. These emotions, whether rooted in fact or fiction, are the kinds of things people will remember this November when they ask themselves whether they’re satisfied with the current occupier of the White House.

Again, what is more important, baby formula or abortion? We do not have long to find out.
