Focusing on prenatal care rather than race will make ALL the difference. HOW to focus on prenatal care then becomes the question, and that would likely begin with restoring "home economics" classes to students in high school. HOW to focus on "marriage before sex" may be taught in appropriate venues such as church youth groups and Bible studies, as Biblical principles include maintaining a healthy self-image as well as respect for God and one's community (Love thy neighbor AS thyself.)

No mention of women getting their tubes tied. WHY? And Cali is trolling for people to move there since they are losing population every day. You should move. That's you mind set.

Informative! Maternal health outcomes are often overlooked in the discussion about abortion. Thank you for sharing the information on free birth control.

Unfortunately, TN is ruled by people calling themselves Christians, despite never doing anything christ-like. My body, my choice is all that should need to be said. Women will always find a way to protect women, whether they want to be mothers or not. We must expand SCOTUS.

Apparently, M'boro V's comment section disallows carriage returns / paragraph formation, so this will have to be in sections for "readability": --- Lucylife wrote:> "Unfortunately, TN is ruled by people calling themselves Christians, despite never doing anything [Christ]-like." --- Jesus teaches in Luke 6:42— "...how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye." ---Also, there's Luke 6:37, "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." ---Meanwhile, ALL judgment as well as accusation reflects duality, whereas #OnlyLoveCreatesUnity.

---LL:> "My body, my choice is all that should need to be said." ---Yet when a pregnant female says, "My Life, my body, my choice!" then denies *All Three* of those choices to her child, she reflects the duality of hypocrisy that results in abortion, thus death. ---Granted, she's only forwarding the hypocrisy of the father who felt he could enjoy the duality (sin) of action without consequence (and the responsibility that comes with such action and consequence.) Thus, procreation inside the bonds of Holy Matrimony promote the Unity of the Seed of the Love of the Father with the Earth of the Mother, resulting in a Unified genome (and the continued growth of family) such as exists in every living, breathing human being on Earth today (including Oneself!) ---"Deadbeat (or intentionally absent) dads" contribute to the deterioration of the family and thus society, which visibly crumbles as the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah deny their own culpability.

LL:> "Women will always find a way to protect women, whether they want to be mothers or not." ---An excellent facility in support of that statement: https://www.marysshelter.org

---LL:> "We must expand SCOTUS." ---Statement reflects the duality of the moral imperative, where [A must B.] When Love is one's *only* truth, there is no "must." (--- generally indicates where a change of speaker occurs or a new paragraph begins.)
