Since we're having more kids, how do we care for them?

With jubilant throngs dancing in the streets last week, waving signs declaring themselves “pro-life” as the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the agenda is surely going to turn to children, right? Right?

Because right now? Being a kid or raising a kid in America isn’t easy.

We’re finally going to mandate paid parental leave and put an end to our shameful position as one of only wealthy countries that doesn’t do so.

Surely people proselytizing about the sanctity of life will turn their attention to protecting children beyond the womb who need safe, permanent housing.

Sad to say you know they won't.

1. Repubs will respond with their usual YOYO response - You're On Your Own

Better hope you have money or a really good support system in place cuz otherwise, life is going to get a lot more difficult when you suddenly are forced to have a child you didn't plan on or want. I have been in a state of rage since last week. Even knowing this was coming, it's such a blow. I came of age during the Roe v Wade era.

2. More schools; more free lunches; more special education teachers;

school buses; school resource personnel.
You may add to the list.

3. Like my brother-in-law said

There will be a lot of grandparents raising grandchildren. People too old to be chasing toddlers.

4. "We" don't

they are left to whatever healthcare and resources their un-willing mother can scrape up. None of the states banning abortion offer meaningful or lasting support to the women they're condemning to motherhood. I don't mention 'fathers' because in many instances they are not in the picture. Nope, the "pro-life" throng don't really care.

5. No the supposed

pro life do not care. Fire/police stations better watch out. They will be flooded with unwanted infants. Sounds terrible, but true. I know my state doesn’t really support women and the children that are wanted.

6. They care not. On your own kid

7. Leave them on Amy Coney Barrett's doorstep.

Let's see her practice what she preaches.

8. Betsy DeVos believes poor children should be sent to religious schools to learn to be good and

faithful servants for the wealthy and upper middle classes.
