First, TSF and his minions are trying to make abortion illegal again. And there will be babies because of that.
And women may or may not have a husband, a baby-daddy, or family to help support this unexpected child. (This doesn't exclude married women who were trying to have a child.)
So the mother has to go to work to house, feed, and care for this child. And most jobs don't even offer enough wages to support the child.
And the mother can't financially provide for that child with the added expense of a babysitter. And she can't leave that child home alone (at least without Child Protection getting involved).
And for more than 50 years, Head Start has been providing care and education for these children, allowing mothers to work and leave their children in a safe haven simultaneously.
I worked in a daycare center in Harlem for 12 months in Harlem in 1984. It wasn't Head Start per se, but NYC paid for it. Students were in three classes (2-3 years; 4 years/nursery school; and 5-6/kindergarten). They were offered freshly prepared food for breakfast and lunch. I'm talking nutritious and tasty food in our kitchen. Rice and beans, oxtails, fruits and vegetables, etc. (At home, at least one child was only eating Fritos and soda.)
I had the Kindergarten with an Assistant Teacher and an Aide. 21 students. We had a valid education plan with reading, mathematics, four languages (Spanish, Patwa, Mandarin Chinese, and Universal Sign Language). I added African-American history, African art, African dance. We even snagged a computer (this was 1984!). And the kids progressed. Of course, we had no money for our curriculum, and we donated a chunk of our salaries to make our program work.
I was proud that 4-5 students were accepted into private schools upon graduation to first grade.
Plus, I traveled 2-1/2 hours (each way!) from New Jersey five days a week.
Back to TSF cutting funds for Head Start. I see schools closing due to lack of funds. I see more children biding their time in public schools, oblivious to their learning, graduating without knowing how to read or do simple math. And their projected failure with vocations except for the most menial labor genres. And in addition, they won't be able to negotiate their way through society with the necessary social skills, such as disagreeing calmly with words, not with physical stances.
And more child abuse as these children will be neglected and/or arbitrarily punished by their caregivers for just existing.
This will not end well.
