If those "scores of charitable organizations" were meeting the needs of people, there would be no need for government social service programs.

And, the majority of those charitable organizations rely on federal, state, and local government dollars to provide those services.

In a perfect world, maybe charitable organizations would be a solution, but, in our less than perfect world, they are just another cog in the wheel helping those in need.

However they're funded (and I suspect it's not the "majority" that receive the lion's share of their budget via government funding), my comment was directed at the narrative that "they only care about a fetus until its born". For many, they're servicing a critical need and I'm glad they're available.

Just wait until the GOP starts trying to eliminate social net programs that are intended to aid women and children. Sooner or later one of these Repubs trying to lean further right than the next will start promising the GOP faithful they'll cut their taxes "if we just eliminate the needless programs".
