Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.
With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

There are two completely separate issues that dont make sense to combine unless you just want to use it as a weapon. The question is if the fetus is "sacred" and deserves rights, if so then you cant kill it.
Bullshit. You can't deem life "sacred" for fetuses while completely ignoring the existing lives that are snuffed out, violated, exploited, etc. How can life be sacred at birth without life as a whole being sacred as a prerequisite?
And yet, we ignore the fact that there are children who literally don't get to eat food every day in a country that calls itself the greatest on earth... Children who can't access healthcare, children who die in shootings, children who die because people won't vaccinate their own kids, children who commit suicide feeling they can't be accepted. Are their lives no longer sacred, now that they've emerged from the womb?
If potential life is being considered as sacred, then existing life must first be considered sacred.
Who said all human life was not sacred? Who said I dont care about all of those things?
