I come at this from this angle-flaming liberal, traditional marriage, Mom of three, Grammy of four. My parents died, I grew up in foster care. I know who is looking out for the weakest and most helpless. No one. Look at the States most likely to ban abortion, check metrics on child standard of living in those states. The expanded child tax credit lifted 30% of children out of poverty, the benefit reached 61 million children. Congress couldn't cut that fast enough.
Since mental health care is for whiners, slackers, and those just looking for an excuse (extreme sarcasm), you think this country is in a crisis now? Let the fascist win, let them run the school boards, let them embrace that trickle down economics, give them "don't ask don't tell" instead of healthcare. Give them non-woke math books instead of food. See how that works out in about 10 years.
