They’re cutting Medicaid, there’s no real paid maternity leave of substance in this country, and they want to force pregnancy on people?

It would be cute if abortion bans or restrictions were only legal in states with full health care, paid maternity leave, state funded day care, and a living minimum wage.

I’m not for bans, or restrictions, but I do believe these crappy states should go all in on “pro life” ideology and fight for all of it. As is, they simply prove this stance on abortion isn’t really about life or supporting the lives of babies.

If you want to support life, then support life. Otherwise, you’re just a hypocrite out to control reproduction and women along with it.
