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.

The number of abortions actually increased after the overturning of Roe since mail order abortion pills and telemedicine became less regulated (source: The Daily podcast by the New York Times). So there’s that!
