Mississippi Guv gets it ass backwards.

On the Sunday talk shows, the Mississippi Governor was asked about some of the failures of Mississippi government. Things like a poor educational system, lack of financial support for young mothers, maternal and child death rates, lack of time off for maternity leave, etc. His response was that "we should work on that."

These are problems in his state that young pregnant women often cite as the reasons for getting an abortion. Shouldn't these things get fixed first before considering an abortion ban? Better schools, healthcare, and financial and social support might just be enough to tip the scales in favor of bearing a child. Then there would be less need for having an abortion.

The Governor is not in favor of supporting young mothers, just exerting power over them. He could do much better, Have a state "trigger" law to support a better life for young people despite the Court ruling, instead of a trigger law to stop abortions.
