But Blaine Conzatti, president of the Idaho Family Policy Center and a leading anti-abortion lobbyist, is not bothered by the lack of government support. Pregnancies, births and child care are not the purview of the government, he said, but of families, communities, charities and, most of all, churches.

See? See the pivot there? Look carefully!

Pregnancies, births, and childcare are not the purview of the gov't. ...Except that pregnancy is the purview of the gov't when it comes to the right to terminate an unwanted or unviable pregnancy. It's clear and obvious hypocrisy. from the religious crowd.

If it's all the responsibility of the families and government support is gone, they should not be surprised if people go back to fraternities, sororities and other social organisations of mutual support. You already see that happening with unions who were historically connected to these organizations. Governments don't like those.
