Good Talk . Thank you.

Now that you mention it, I have to admit that, generally I do not — in the normal course of my political life — take responsibility for the outcome of pregnancies ... as, generally I suppose you do not — in the normal course of your political life — take responsibility for the outcome of births.

If I did, I suppose I would insist on much stronger supports for prenatal and maternal care … and preparing people to become effective parents … and pursuing public goods that could reduce the number of unintentional pregnancies … and I suppose my vote would reflect my commitment.

If you did, I suppose you would insist on much stronger supports for family nutrition, healthcare ... and living wages … early childhood development … equitable education and work preparation for every child … responsible environmental practices across the board ... effective, efficient, and just governance for the common good … equal protection under law for every person ... and I suppose your vote would reflect your commitment.

I see your point: I should insist on much stronger supports for prenatal and maternal care and preparing people to become effective parents and pursuing public goods that could reduce the number of unintentional pregnancies ... and I will.

Thanks. Good talk.
