Once again Republican policies have the opposite of the effect they intended. Banning abortion in 22 states has resulted in an INCREASE in the number of abortions in the USA in every year since Roe v. Wade was overturned. But what is worse is that both infant mortality AND maternal mortality - already the highest in the first world, has dramatically increased in states which banned abortion.
Universal health care, child tax benefits of $679 per month, per child, for low income families, 1 year paid maternity/paternity benefits, $10/day day care for children, and a minimum wage for all workers of $17+ per hour would go a long way to cutting abortions. That's what we have in Canada. The USA has NOTHING for young families.
Republicans only care about children as long as they are in utero. Once they're really "alive", they're on their own.
