Pro-lifers don't care.

All they care about is the fact that the white population will decrease as no one can afford/wants children, so the best way to remedy that is to force them to.

How else would one mass-produce gullible, uneducated voting cattle to exploit and fleece?

No need to sound like a political science textbook. Birth control means you don't have to get pegnorate!

Which is why republicans and conservatives want it gone: they want you to have children.

They want having children to be a woman's punishment for unapproved sex, and they want the kid (who had zero responsibility for creating that situation) to suffer through it along with her, with zero help so it's all as unpleasant as possible, cuz apparently that makes Baby Jesus smile. Fucking lunatics.

At its core it's about population control. As the birth rate is falling capitalism needs bodies to keep the cogs turning.

New meat MUST be bred to feed the machine of infinite growth.

They want you to have children, and they want you to do it before you're ready. They want you to be barely surviving so you can't afford to switch jobs or take time off. They want you too powerless to have any leverage over your ~~owner~~ employer.

Pro-lifers do not care a single bit

Absolutely. Which is exactly the reason they want to take it away from you.

The worst part is draconic abortion bans also hurt those trying to have children. No one's getting recreational third trimester abortions. You picked out a name, painted the nursery. Late term abortions are tragedies to all parties, and only ever happen because of life threatening conditions.

I wouldn't want to plan a child when any complication could mean death.

Birth control is nothing more than a form of medical technology. People against birth control and abortion(also medical technology) are Medical Luddites.

They must be afraid of losing their jobs at crisis pregnancy centers, or be afraid they won't be allowed to shame young single mothers anymore.

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Yes. It gets tiring. There aren't even breaks in between "zomg! Look what trump and friends are doing! We are so much better" memes over and over and over and over.

They know, that's the point.
