This is a feminist issues because... child care disproportionately effects women.

This article states that in Minnesota, 47% of a single-mom's income goes to child care. This is a feminist issue. The fact that women's wages continue to be lower than men's makes it that much harder for a single mother to pay for child care, which in MN and many other states is already very difficult even with two-person income.

The article has the link to the full report on child care across the United States.
