A Rising Magenta Millennial | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Good for Elizabeth for essentially defending the pro-choice position - or at least the middle position - that the most important factor in abortion is economic. Sadly, her husband's simulation is not enough. The amount in tax provided subsidies (including subisidiens through paid training or college) is two to three times that - at $900 a month. A thousound wold be better. Of course, when you get to these levels, you have conservatives responding with calls for personal economic and sexual responsiblity - but with abstinence, not birth control or abortion. That is it the ugly side of the pro-life movement no one talks about. We should. Loudly. Sadly, the Church has not been too useful in pushing hard on the economic side, demostrating that coalition politics and attempting to end the right of privacy through a SCOTUS ruling is actually more important to them than stopping abortion (since if economics make it rare or not, there won't be many clinics left).
