"Texass didn't merely make abortion illegal — it also pulled funding for prenatal care and family planning services.
The Post report cited a Texas law enforcement official saying that it has become "a little bit of an epidemic" of infant abandonment.
Marcotte wondered why the pro-life movement wasn't up in arms about it. She said one would think they'd be "moving heaven and earth to make sure pregnant girls and women in desperate circumstances have safe alternatives to giving birth in secret and throwing the baby away."
"But that would only be true if anti-abortion activists were, in fact, 'pro-life.' Instead, the reaction of anti-choice leaders and Republican legislators so far has been a collective shrug, if they bother to acknowledge the problem at all," she said."
