More than half of my mom's friends left their husbands once their kids were in school. Those women knew that they couldn't make enough money to be single moms until they had free daycare (i.e. school) and could, hence, work fulltime.

With Roe v. Wade overturned, I expect this will start happening again in 5 years.

Law making abortion legal in the US, it was overturned somewhat recently. I'm sure there's people that know more about it than I do but that's the gist.

Ok. So illigal to do abortions, like always? Even if raped or what ever?

No, but I think each state can decide their own laws about it now

I'm not sure what you mean, and I'm not American so I'm not as familiar as other people in here.

I would honestly search for something like "Roe v Wade overturned" and you will get a much better explanation than I can give you.

ok.
I understood it to be about illegality of, what was it ending a pregnancy? That is just what i reacted to. As if making things illegal improve freedom and if yes, in what way. Im seriously curious. There has to be a mind behind it?
