US EditionMississippi sees spike in child care enrollment after abortion ban and child support policy change
- The number of families accepting public assistance for child care in Mississippi has been steadily increasing since the state banned abortion in almost all circumstances. This rise has been attributed to a change in child support policy in May, which further accelerated the enrollment in child care vouchers.

- Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann disputed the idea that the abortion ban has affected child care voucher enrollment, offering a different perspective on the situation.
