Be explicit about what that “old thing” is.

Women caring for their own children, of course.

This thing where we outsource childcare to poorly paid strangers is a social experiment.

Funding that with public money to increase adoption even further is another social experiment.

These social experiments may turn out to be brilliant successes in the long run, I have no idea and I’m not stating any opinion there.

But, the people who call themselves conservatives, probably want to conserve the old practice, instead of trying out more new practices. That is basically what they do.
