Yes I want a ban on any abortion after the first trimester and that means I'm also willing to support expanding birth control, welfare, and education cost at my state level. We can't just be pro birth I'm pro life so if I'm going to support abandoning abortions in my state I have to be more open to helping those that need in my state.

At the state level I'd support free birth control, I'm willing to expand welfare and I'm also open to paying more for schools. That's how important this issue is to me.

My wife and I have offered to take in 3 kids in need this year in addition to our 4, so far their home situation hasn't reached the point they need to live with us full time but if comes to it we've told all three households we will do it. We have to fill the gap for these kids this be is our chance to not only save lives but also change lives, these kids deserve it we must demand it

That's amazing. 
And I agree with your POV, if we're going to reduce access to abortion, we need to increase welfare for parents.  It's messed up that one party supports one and the other party supports the other but neither support both.  We need both going forward.

State governments are really bad at expanding welfare on their own unfortunately, and the ones that are willing to raise state taxes to do it are the same ones that aren't willing to reduce abortion. So that's backwards too.

Ideally both issues would be resolved at the federal level, as a compromise between the parties, for less abortion access, but more welfare for parents.
