I wonder what people who've stumbled upon usmb think of this kind of approach. I've posted the sub headlines and paragraph headings, and headlines attached to a few graphs. Best I could do for now (if you lack access over paywalls -- paying for news content).
WAPO Opinion We disagree on abortion. Here’s a pro-family agenda both parties can support.

Make pregnancy less dangerous
America’s failure to support young families is most bluntly expressed in its disgraceful infant and maternal mortality rates, which even before the pandemic reached rates unseen since the early 1970s and disproportionately affect Black women.
Maternal deaths are on the rise
For decades, pregnancy and birth got safer in the United States. In the late 1990s, that progress started to erode.
In just three years, the number of women who start pregnancy with serious health conditions has increased
Blue Cross Blue Shield found many more women with diagnosed obesity and anxiety disorders.
More women are suffering from common pregnancy complications
Help parents afford babies
Having children is an expensive pastime
Diapers and college are expensive. So are Cheerios, blueberries and new shoes. This is what married couples with kids under 6 years old spend each year.
Support child-care needs
The amount parents can save pretax to pay for child care hasn't changed since 1986.
That $5,000 limit doesn't cover the cost of care in a state like Mississippi, where care is cheaper. And it doesn't come close to covering costs in a pricey state like Massachusetts.
The cost of after-school care has almost tripled since 2004
Not all parents who want care can get it. This spring, 47 percent of programs reported wait-listing children.
