You suppose said woman might suspect pregnancy as a possible outcome after having had unprotected sex?

And while they may support food banks in lieu of food stamps, there’s no question that there are babies, children and adults still going hungry despite whatever level of support is being rendered. That just shows that while private entities can be part of the solution, they don’t have the level of support to be the entire solution.

People are still going hungry for a lot of different reasons in spite of the existence of food stamps, free lunch programs, food banks, etc. The idea that Dems care and Republicans hate is so simplistic and stupid.

That’s a total BS argument. Young men have been drafted into the Army in this country since the Civil War under penalty of imprisonment or worse. I think the 60,000 who died in Vietnam would gladly rather carry a baby to term, give birth and give it up for adoption. Such drama queens you women.
Well there is an exception for masks and the vaccine. Don't forget that. The same progressives didn't want a choice there.

Based on voting patterns and opinion polls, not all but most. Most Republicans support the law makers who passed laws removing choice. And in some cases using BS “science” like a heartbeat law before there even is a heart or circulatory system to pump blood. Or the Ohio idiots who insist an ectopic pregnancy be “reimplanted” in a woman’s womb when that is impossible and doing so makes a life saving surgery needlessly more risky. And what can you even say about the bills that don’t hold exceptions for rape or incest. Heinous is not strong enough a word.

And regarding social issues....you're talking about my right to marry my bf as a gay man. Why would that be baffling to you? Some states would want to jail me for being intimate w/ the man I love.

wake up... the lefties are the racists telling young black children they will have no privileges because of the color of their skin. A racist teaching if I ever heard one.

There’s lots of not caring to go around that is for sure. But, if we look at platforms for the parties and their candidates, the differences become apparent. I never see a Republican candidate campaigning on much other than Trump, guns, more guns, build the wall, Biden sucks and “old fashioned family values”. Sometimes they try to use controlling spending, but what idiot is gonna believe that? Both parties abandoned that practice decades ago.

Justice Roberts today, “the leaked document will in no way change the outcome of the decision making process of the court.” But I’ll bet his secret association with Epstein and those who have the dirt on him regarding that would. Lol just saying.

They’re all dirty and deep state folks, our entire political system.

Many vote Republican because they see them as the lesser of two evils. It doesn’t mean they support everything on their platform. Most republicans are for restrictions on abortion v because they see the unborn as worthy of protection. This does not mean all Republicans are bible thumpers who hate poor people.

So my wife who has irregular periods due to an IUD should test monthly on the off chance that the IUD failed?
