As we approach the holiday season, we can't ignore the fact that food insecurity is a repro justice issue.
The right to decide how & when to have children includes being able to raise them in a healthy, well-resourced environment. Access to food should be a fundamental right, not a privilege.

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.
