Ken, yet again another thoughtful post. We in the US talk a good line about caring for children but somehow the money is never there to support that rhetoric. We still have a shockingly high infant morality rate in this country, a societal neglect of both women and children.
I think we need a Chart on how many children in foster care felt they were given every opportunity of a loving caring well provided childhood. Medical Educational and Support from the families they were put in. In PA. we had a program called Cash for Kids #follow the money! From small offenses to larger ones, it was cruel and heads rolled. LETS HEAR FROM THOSE KIDS the meaning of rejection and punishment. And I might add Child Support is a JOKE (I know for a fact the courts did Nothing for me or my children) ✍
Wonderful article again today, You are so right, once the baby is born, many people don’t care what happens to them. I wish they’d visit the Suicide wards in Rikers or other prisons and ask the prisoners if they wish they’d never been born.
Thoughts and prayers have certainly solved the gun violence problems in this country.
Another hypocrisy!

And sadly most of those problems are in states that will outlaw abortion without providing any support for expectant mothers.

Arkansas has a plan? Sure they do: throw the kids under the bus -- but only under the back wheels.
