New research from Northwestern Medicine in Chicago shows that states with the most severe abortion restrictions often lack robust public support programs for low-income families. The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health, categorized states based on their abortion laws and assessed access to reproductive healthcare and social services. The research also revealed that the most restrictive states had the highest rates of uninsured women of reproductive age and lower enrollment in state-funded assistance programs.

    It’s called being poor. They aren’t just states, they are collections of communities living in abject poverty. Their healthcare sucks. Their education sucks. Their prospects for the future are non-existent.

    Rural America was left behind by Reagan and trickle down economics, globalization, and their plight not being addressed by anyone in power for decades.

    In their desperation, they turned to a man they didn’t fully understand…

      Yeah right. It takes a total genius to figure that one out. Those idiots chose hate and resentment over common sense. They deserve what they get.
