In the upcoming US presidential election, abortion rights are significantly influencing Indian American women’s voting preferences.

The demographic, part of the second-largest immigrant community in the US, increasingly supports candidates who champion reproductive rights. Meeta Damani, a documentary filmmaker in New Jersey focusing on women and children, highlighted the critical nature of this issue. “It affects the entire family if a child is born unhealthy. Ultimately, it’s about freedom and choice. I believe women voters will clearly express their views,” she stated.

Given the clarity with which Indian American women view this issue, it’s unsurprising that abortion and reproductive rights have become pivotal in the 2024 election cycle.

Priya, a marketing professional in New Jersey, expressed frustration over the necessity of debating abortion rights in a developed country like the US. “It’s my body, so it should be my choice. We will support a party that protects our rights,” she asserted.

In 2022, the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade eliminated the constitutional right to abortion, enabling states to impose bans or restrictions. This has heightened the importance of reproductive rights among women nationwide, with many opposing the decision. Democratic-led states have acted to safeguard these rights, becoming sanctuaries for those seeking services from restrictive states.

Supreet, an IT professional, noted the corporate response to these changes. “Many employers are adopting policies to support women, even facilitating travel to states where abortion is legal. This shows corporate America’s support, though governmental support varies, making it crucial for women voters to back pro-abortion parties,” she remarked.

The Indian American Attitudes Survey revealed a gender gap in voting preferences, with 67% of Indian American women favouring Kamala Harris compared to 53% of men. This gap widens among younger voters, with over 70% of women over 40 supporting Harris.

Sonal Sharma, an immigration lawyer, cautioned against viewing abortion as the sole deciding issue. “The issue is complex. While abortion is sensitive, the electorate is divided. However, in states attempting to pass stricter abortion laws, such efforts were rejected. The outcome remains to be seen,” she advised.

The focus on abortion rights by political campaigns, particularly Harris’s, and reproductive rights advocacy groups highlights their importance in mobilizing Indian American women, a crucial demographic in the forthcoming election. With over 5.2 million people of Indian origin in the US, their impact is significant as the election approaches.
