Does Mississippi have a moral responsibility to set up a comprehensive social program for children and their mothers?
My thinking is that if Mississippi is successful in removing all legal abortion providers in the state, then they have removed a significant responsibility from the shoulders of parents who don't want their children or who can't afford to take care of them.
Regardless of your position on the responsibility of getting pregnant, by removing the mother's choice to abort, the state has committed itself to ensure the safety, health, and prosperity of that child.
Anything less would be sadistic.
At the same time, they are also forcing families to bear the cost of new life, regardless of the families ability to financially support that new life. So whatever shortfall of income that allows the family to adequately raise & support the child.
I'm sure they are very much aware of this. But they are trying to do what they are able to do.
If they succeed in making Mississipi abortion-free, that's only 49 states left to go.

No, because robbing a bank is wrong, abortion isn't.

So don't have an abortion.

No, it isn't killing ....and besides Anti-Choice folks have NO problem sending our military to OTHER COUNTRIES to blow up babies and pregnant women so the Anti-Choicers can feel safe....THAY HAVE SAID SO!
"""All that changes nothing.
On one hand there is the claimed "woman's right", on the other the life of a child.
Makes a "woman's right" seem petty & most selfish by comparison.
I just ate a hard boiled egg (chicken - not human)!
Scrambled human eggs anyone?
