We're not at a point where we can buy a thousand books for our underfunded school system, but you can be damn sure we vote to give them more funding and to curb political control over the curriculum. Same with our zoo, our museum, or science learning center - anything to make our community a better place for everyone. We try and vote the same way at the national level, but national politicians lie out of both sides of their mouths, so you just do the best you can.

That said - I tend to favor politicians who vote for things like infrastructure and corporate taxes than the ones who babble about pizzeria pedophile rings or stolen elections without proof, and especially against the ones who don't believe in bodily autonomy.

See there's a fundamental flaw in the bodily autonomy argument (Assuming you are talking about abortion). I believe a fetus/mass of cells or whatever is a growing human being with a soul. I am assuming you do not. There's no real middle ground there for anyone. It's a terrible thing to end that life in my opinion. I mean I can understand if there's a problem or the mother is or could potentially die, but that's just one of the terrible decisions you would have to make in the moment. I feel like if you honestly believe what is growing inside is a person too, then where is their autonomy.

Now I can't answer what do we do with all the births. I guess in a perfect world we would offer easily accessible and free birth control and free healthcare to pay for anyone that wishes to surgically remove the possibility of getting pregnant. On top of generally not going around having sex as much as possible with as many people as possible. But alas free will.
