Camerota asks Texas lawmaker why they work quickly to protect embryos but not 10-year-olds

I don’t know why you think I’m attacking social service professions. I’ve implied none of what you’ve assumed.

I’m implying therapy is NOT a catch all solution to this problem. I’m literally stating a system I feel strongly could create a way of implementing both background checks, training, and responsible gun ownership rather than turn 18 and walk into a store to buy a gun and ammo.

Therapy provided by psychologists and family support services provided by social workers AND SO MUCH MORE is needed to support children and families to avoid detrimental outcomes. And while so much is already being done far more help is needed. Abbott literally slashed mental health funding during his Time in office!

The professionals in these fields are severely devalued, overworked, and limited in what they can provide. More federal and state funding for research, funding for everything from birth control and/or prenatal care to federally subsidized childcare, universal basic income, and so much more could be done to help folks struggling.
