What about free day care for poor women who decide to not have abortions but would like to work or go to school?Spoken like a true socialist…free, free, free, free, free!
Nothing is free and actions have consequences. You are certainly free to financially support not-for-profit programs to distribute birth control, provide daycare, and educational out-reach. Likewise I am free to support institutions that provide adoption services, single mother assistance programs, and the like. People like The Little Sisters of the Poor shouldn’t be forced into buying stuff they do not want or need just to promote some government agenda. That type of compulsion is tyranny.
Besides for those who want it, birth control is relatively cheap.
Education in America is failing desperately. In Chicago, where I live, the public schools have been altering forms to pad the drop-out rate and altered test scores. I think there are much more important issues, like I don’t know, maybe READING. Sexuality, nutrition, money management and the like are, and should remain, personal and private family matters.

Many are also against birth control, sex education, and any attempts to lift the struggling people out of poverty - just look at their fights against raising the minimum wage.No one is forcing people to have sex yet, are they? I know I’ve never heard of anyone forcing women to have children. That is what is supposed to happen when people have sex. Babies are the normal, healthy, and natural consequence of sexual activity.
If it were me I would eliminate all the different social programs and create one Department of Charity. Get rid of all the social engineering restrictions and just give poor people money. They should get enough to secure their basic needs, food, shelter, medical care, etc. They can eat steak and Doritos or they can eat vegetables and rice, pocket the difference, and better themselves, like moving to a state where the cost of living is cheaper or get some job training or buying birth control. Or they can blow it on drugs and gambling. I believe in a free country where people, not bureaucrats and lawmakers, make their own decisions about what is best for them.
If PP is so enlightened now, then they should rename the Margaret Sanger award. You libs need to be consistent. If the Confederate flag* is racist, then so is praise and honor for Sanger.
*And yes the flag should go, not because it is racist but because they lost the war. It would be like flying the Imperial flag of Japan.
