No possible way. Oklahoman voters refused to pass a proposal to raise state sales tax by a penny in order to improve funding for all school students, including for higher education.

I was surprised to see it take 19 posts before someone spouted this nonsense.

Making abortion illegal and unobtainable will overload the already strained child protective services and foster care system.

Medicaid, WIC, TANF, ... all these programs would need to be beefed up to handle the increase.

This whole anti-abortion business is about power and control. Not about protecting children.

Why are these massive amounts of people not marching to protect the children who are already born and locked in cages at the border?

Or marching to improve funding for foster care, child protective services, Medicaid, WIC, TANF, schools, daycare, ...

Seems like protecting the children already born would be a logical step.

So the 400 thousand kids in foster care don’t matter? Nor the 100 thousand plus kids who are eligible for adoption who wait for a home. How bout twenty plus thousand that age out every year? Why am I not surprised you don’t care

Let’s not forget all the frozen embryos that never get implanted. These poor little unborn kids stay in the deep freeze for decades.

According to this source, it was 200,000.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/march-f...ded-d-c-march/

In any case, March For Our Lives was a one-time event. The March for Life has been an annual event since 1974, yet it still manages to draw hundreds of thousands of participants each and every year.
