Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care.

    As we all should’ve known to begin with, you want less abortions you give more support to people having children. Banning abortions just pushes more kids into a society that doesn’t care about them except when it’s sometimes convenient politically. If you give mothers free childcare and remove the barriers to return to a normal life after childbirth you’ll see a downturn in abortions as the alternatives are less miserable for most people. If you ban abortions you force women already in bad circumstances into worse ones.
