As we start to push towards restricting abortions or outright banning them in a lot of states, in response I'd ask what about universal health care, universal child care, paid leave for parents, etc. What about social service programs like head start, food stamps, heap, are we going to expand those programs too? Don't give me the sanctity of life routine if it doesn't involve actually providing for the kids after they are born. In these areas we have a lot of work to do.

I am on board with most all of that. Key is how it's paid for obviously. But I think all of it should start from the sanctity of life, or if sanctity offends, then the unique greatness of every life. That doesn't mean that life is fair, or even close to fair, but as much as we can, yes we should provide protection and care for those who are to weak to defend themselves. (I don't include a 21 yo male with no physical handicaps in the concept of being to weak to defend themselves). Sorry if that makes me a radical.
