      We have to pay for basically any part of medical care, but abortions are actually special because it’s illegal for any government funding to go towards it at all

      And that’s if you live in a state where it’s legal, or at least a state that won’t prosecute you for leaving the state to get one. In basically the entire South now (so nearly every state with a high Black population) it’s straight up illegal and in half of them they’ll go after you for leaving the state to get one too.

      Well we have to pay a lot for anything and everything. Ambulances, childbirth, ER visits, routine checkups, medication, rehab, surgery, you name it
