Sure, if school closes for whatever reason, be it inclement weather or a strike, it's hard for parents to find a place for the kids - however - teachers ARE NOT BABYSITTERS - the purpose of free education is not to provide free daycare. While teachers are concerned about their work benefits being cut (as all of us do) their deepest concerns are to keep class sizes low, to provide the materials and infrastructure necessary for them to do their jobs.
The American public stresses a good education however they are not willing to fund it, and are pushed by pundits and politicians to resent the people who work at these jobs.
Let's start asking this question, not why are individuals in the public sector allowed to have (supposed) great benefits (I know teachers who've had retroactive wage cuts and had to work free days to make up for it) where did the benefits in the private sector go?

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything. |

(and let me just say, no matter your 'side' I am just really damn tired of comments I see everywhere that 'if women just kept their legs shut, etc.' Because when it comes down to health issues, it's far more complicated that mere sexual promiscuity)
Abortions are down from a peak of 1.6 million to 1.2 million (as of 2008)
Statistically, one in three women in the United States will have an abortion in her lifetime.
Any trend in the past for a woman to have multiple abortions has declined.
Women in their 20s and 30s are more likely to have abortions, which refutes the idea that most abortions are the result of sexual promiscuity among teens and college students.
Women who are having abortions now are likely to have other children, and single women now have less resources to help them raise children, which leads back to termination of pregnancy.
Women have less access to healthcare including reliable contraception
Most women have abortions within the first seven weeks of their pregnancy - which refutes any idea that late term abortions are common.
Family planning is not just about preventing pregnancies, its about having children when you are ready and when you want to.
