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.

    She’s probably thinking that there is still more abortion to get banned, so that will have to wait.

    Actually helping parents and newborns apparently needs to wait. As can policies that are actually effective at reducing abortion rates such as financial support for the pregnant, access to contraception and sex ed, childcare, etc. For some reason, all that couldn’t happen before overturning Roe. For some reason.

      I’m starting to suspect maybe the anti abortionists just want to subjugate women… 🤔
