Texas, a state with one of the highest teen pregnancies and that has one of the highest child poverty rates, your good ole boy repukes are not doing children any good unless they scribble in their dictator laws to agree to use their money to support a child when it is born until they turn 18 as a result of being born into poverty or as a result of a mother dying in labor as a result of being incapable of carrying a full term pregnancy or incestuous rape, etc."
A new report released Thursday ranks Texas 43rd in overall child well-being based on measures of education, financial security, health, and community factors, down from 41st in 2016.
Of the 7.4 million children in the state, 21 percent live in poverty, according to the 2018 State of Texas Children Report, issued by Austin-based Center for Public Policy Priorities (CPPP), a progressive nonprofit that analyzes state-level socioeconomic data. The report is part of the Kids Count Project, a state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the United States funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a national advocacy group for child well-being."
