Since banning abortion last fall, Indiana has been providing holistic support to women in need. Its new program called “My Healthy Baby” reassures mothers that they are capable of caring for their children, and that poverty need not be the end of motherhood.

Pro-choicers often cite financial instability as a sufficient reason for abortion. They argue that if a woman does not have the proper resources to feed and clothe her child, she should not have to carry out her pregnancy. This assertion is problematic because it prioritizes financial standing over the value of human life. Its logic suggests that poor people would be better off dead.
