Women terminate pregnancies due to cost, says MP 🗯️ #politics #shorts
our child of the North Cross party Group found that expectant mothers were terminating wanted pregnancies as they could not afford another mouth to feed recent figures show infant and child death rates have increased in the most deprived areas and 50 children have died alone in unregulated accommodation is this his plan for a brighter Britain in action Mr Speaker obviously what the honorable lady has described is tragedy nobody wants to see children grow up in those circumstances and that’s why I’m proud that the government has overseen a significant fall in poverty but particularly child poverty since 2010 for a range of measures and I’ll make and I’ll make sure that she is aware for her constituents of all the support that is in place both through the Department of Health and through the department of work and pensions and local authorities to provide support to the most vulnerable families in our community

Might be a good idea to use birth control.
Against poverty-cuts benefits. 🤪🤪
This guy really annoys me.
He hasn’t got a clue nor a care of what his policies and actions are killing this country.
Every one I know is feeling it.
And it’s getting worse day by day.
He needs to go and soon!
This is not an endorsement of Labour though.
I cannot see a difference between them.
They are all utter crap!
We need a new way!
Me and my wife are having an unexpected child and tbh it puts you under alot of pressure, there is talk about sending the child abroad to looked after because although we work and earn a good income between us we are not paying 1000's of pounds a year child care costs. Britain is a shithole, you can barely access and any finance, ive had to drop 18k a year salary to a job with a contract of employment JUST to get another property with a mortgage. Its broken and serves the rich only
Smart idea don’t have kids you cant afford to support 👍
