  1. No one considers it good, killing babies is THE last choice. But let’s also be clear, Republicans have voted AGAINST every possible attempt to save those babies that we can, AGAINST all efforts to provide laws to protect school, jobs, housing assistance, pre-natal and medical care as well as adoption assistance. They vote against these life saving policies by saying it would incentivize pregnancy. Think about that, not joking. Republicans have also stated many times that they will make zero concessions in their plan not for altruistic saving babies lives logic, but because they don’t want to lessen the polarization and funding their position provides. Get that? It’s not about saving babies, they don’t want to endanger the revenue stream or loyalty the fight against abortion brings them. Republicans also vote against assistance for mothers to raise these unwanted children, again using the ‘it would incentivize pregnancy option. Let’s summarize, Republicans don’t want to help mothers, while they may be slightly against killing babies, they will do NOTHING to help mothers in that position. So what’s a mother to be supposed to do when she is pregnant and entering college? Republicans DEMAND she have that baby but don’t want to help care, feed, or provide any medical, job, educational guarantees that would allow the mother to take time off to have and raise the child. Daycare now costs depending on the state from $600 to $1,800 per month, and get no assistance whatsoever. It is my opinion that the state SHOULD do everything possible to enable mothers carry to term, then raise or put the child up for adoption. Being heartless to require them to have the child while withholding all help to do so is wrong. If the state wants to save that child, it needs to take an active role in helping that child. 😊

  2.  @tat2zz68  — I agree, I wasn’t advocating FOR abortion, I was arguing that this partial abortion ban in some states will save fewer lives than had the Republican Party done the right thing. Republicans fight helping the mothers in that situation tooth and nail. In the years before Roe vs. Wade was overturned Republicans said several times that any change to save the babies they could, would lessen their support, meaning they prioritized the money the anti-abortion cause brought in more than the babies lives.

  3.  @tat2zz68  — Not to mention that this partial ban will likely backfire as their authoritarian approach lacks support. Had they tried to help mothers, helping them to carry the child to term, they just may have saved more lives in the long run. No mother wants to terminate a child, except maybe in the case of rape or other challenges.
