Politico, or whoever it was leaked to, is not going to say which clerk gave them the info.

If they did, then no one who needs to keep their identity a secret would ever disclose anything to Politico again.
Someone will rat them out. I’d be shocked if within a few days it’s not discovered who did it

True, that will become even more so as we enter an energy crisis and energy-importing states like CA and NY will pay more for oil and natural gas from the middle of the country.

It's a shame you see them all as liabilities on a balance sheet.
There are exceptions to everything, but the odds are not on their side. I could list a number of tragic known stories and their backgrounds but there's no need for that. There are indeed exceptions but the mothers with means will still get abortions. Know that.

The poorest mothers without means will be the ones that carry the babies, without medical coverage, without means to raise the child and likely the children will be a cost to the state in the form of welfare, supplemental lunches, charity, Section 8 housing, etc. Many will be given up for adoption either in the hospital, soon after or the resulting Social Services visit.

Plenty will be given up for adoption.
Well, you can't entirely do that as you can't prevent people from travelling between states. I'd definitely be onboard with cutting federal welfare programs like food stamps, section 8, and so on though. Or maybe make them performance-based where states that enact effective governance strategies that reduce dependence on public assistance are rewarded while states that encourage public assistance have their bennies reduced. It would be less harsh than just cutting them off entirely.

We should cut them off entirely after specified periods as was supposed to be the case with the plan passed during the Gingrich years, signed by Clinton, and we should reinstate that w/o allowing for exceptions on the time period-even during recessions.

In EVERY city, town, state..

Wrong.

2020 was the only year ever that California lost population:

We don't have the numbers yet for 2021. They'll probably be out soon.

There's a 2-million-long waiting list for adoption in this country. I don't see the issue here.

I don’t see what they gain from this. If the decision was coming anyway they’d be better off with it coming later than now. there’s so much corruption in the world of politics that if this was a deliberate leak it’s likely a false story that could have been leaked by a GOPer
