The Missouri Supreme Court is ordering the Republican attorney general to stand down and allow an initiative petition to legalize abortion in the state to move forward
The Republican Attorney Genera argued "the state could lose $12.5 billion in Medicaid funding and $51 billion in annual tax revenue because of fewer births."
Yeah, you know, the party of freedom and small government, where you're so free that the government comes into your family affairs, forces you to have a baby you dont want to have, in order to get free money from the federal government from taxes paid by people blue states.
What a joke Republicans are. Just the dumbest, most gullible people.
It looks like Missouri's tax revenue in 2021 was just under $60 billion. So... is his estimate assuming that all pregnancies are aborted and revenue ceases?
Nothing says "Hey ladies, we consider you Reproductive Chattel" like making the argument that women should be forced to give birth so that the state government can get more money.
