better SNAP benefits, universal childcare or preschool, housing assistance.............

They only love the fetus, not the child. And according to them, the mother can go straight to hell.

just as Texas changed its law.

She now has the twins, and no job because there's no way to pay for childcare for two on the wages she could make. Her boyfriend works two jobs.

The "pro-lifers" who forced this situation are nowhere to be seen, and offer no aid at all, and in fact probably voted against the childcare subsidies and medicaid expansion that would have helped this young family.
