Morning, CoSo.
I have a news brief for folks who want to rage at the world being *differently* awful.
We've long known that bans on legal abortion don't reduce abortion rates. They only increase suffering: higher maternal mortality rates, and lower quality healthcare all around.
Meanwhile, there *are* things one can do if one is genuinely "pro-life" - like push for climate change action to improve fetal outcomes. (Not holding my breath, though...)

@MLClark I’ll go one further, let’s have universal free healthcare for anyone under 18 and free school meals. The evangelicals can’t claim they are lazy or are to blame and that’s no question that health and nutrition at HUGE factors in being able to succeed in life. But they won’t do it, because this has never been a life. It’s always been about control.
