"States with abortion bans have the worst social safety programs"
"The states that have banned abortion are the same ones that do the least to help pregnant people and new parents make ends meet, according to In These Times.
Eight of the 14 states that now ban abortion also fail to ensure pregnant workers have the right to workplace accommodations. None have guaranteed paid maternity and paternity leave or paid sick days, and five have refused to extend postpartum Medicaid coverage for mothers in the first year after giving birth — an extremely critical period for parents."
