Just thinking logically, wouldn't single moms with children be entitled to government assistance? If they had gotten an abortion (if they wanted) wouldn't they be less of a strain on welfare programs?

Yes. That's why conservatives make no sense. They want poor people to have the children so they can then hate their children and call them moochers.


Conservatives want them to not get pregnant if they can't afford the kids. Some conservatives want to outlaw abortion, but not all.

And yet they they push(ed) for abstinence only 'education' so this claim also makes little sense.

So? That's still a majority of them.

No, that's how the funding is allocated by republican governors or making it onto various party platforms.

See: Jeb Bush, John Kasich, or the Texas GOP:

https://www.texasgop.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/PERM-PLATFORM.pdf
Sex Education- We respect parental authority regarding sex education. We support the teaching of biology of reproduction and abstinence until marriage. We should prohibit entities and their affiliates that contradict our beliefs from conducting sex education and/or teacher training in public schools. We oppose all policies and curriculum that teach alternate lifestyles including homosexuality, transgender and other non-traditional lifestyles as normal.

The best way to think of it is that conservatives just don't care. Being poor? your problem. Being pregnant? also your problem. Being ignorant about sex because you had a crappy education that we sabotaged and a poor home life that we enabled? Also your problem.
