I would say that prohibition of local abortion healthcare is not the answer regardless as to what other options are available.

Since writing the OP I've found a local pregnancy center that offers services in alignment with the above that is in need of male volunteers. I'll have my orientation next week and hope to be of help there.

start a car service that ONLY gives free rides to women and one or two support people

A transportation service is a great idea, thank you for sharing

Minetest is actually what we play - I host a server for me and my kiddos and have tried out several different games / mods

Currently preparing to move back to Asuna with an increase in mob mods and some of our other favorites

Minecraft and other open-ended games without much guidance toward specific goals.

While I do enjoy freely exploring a large open world I also lose track of the point of playing at all... add some quest objectives or something and it's perfect.

Ditto here - I get bored super fast when gaming alone but put me on a server with others and I can easily play for hours

This and a proper height pillow for your sleep position

I sleep on my side and needed a thicker pillow to better align my neck for example

Thank for responding; I share your passion around the issue

I am assuming you are in the US, in that case there are little programs available to help a woman raise a child she does not want especially if it is a red state.

This is the kind of information I am looking for

They do little background checks on people who foster and adopt

As a foster parent of 8.5 years this is highly variable on the area; ours for example was extremely thorough and we were able to see several children's lives improved through their placements - I do not however want to discount that the opposite does also happen though I do not have the answer as to any better solution beyond providing significantly more support to all areas of the foster system. We need more well-meaning people to get involved both as social workers and especially as foster / adoptive parents.

In my opinion, the logical path for straddling both sides is to leave the pregant woman’s choice 100% intact, but then make it easy for her to choose the pregnancy. In other words, universal healthcare, a high-quality child care network, maternity leave, and assistance for getting the child adopted. Preventing unwanted pregnancies by providing contraceptives also helps a lot. I feel like that’s also why this discussion hardly exists in developed nations outside of the US, because they have these things.

Agreed and I think this is where the group is aiming along with myself as well

[–] s3rvant@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed and so far all of my interactions with their team have matched that stance so I am hopeful.

+1 for Minetest

I run a server on our local network that kiddos love

It was fairly simple to setup including which game type and mods

Kiddos have gotten back into the Pokemon card game so we're likely playing Pokemon TCG Live

Also hoping to finally break in the Nexalis ttrpg I've had on the shelf for a while now with the teens
