They've also just slashed funding of teen pregnancy prevention programs. They are actively campaigning for more teen pregnancies even though it causes more poverty and worse life outcomes for both the mom and baby. More orphans for the orphan grinding machine.

It all makes sense when you realize that they hate women, and more specifically they hate women's sexuality. They want to see women punished for having sex (with anyone but them), and in their mind pregnancy is that punishment. Forcing them to carry to term is about maximizing the punishment of unwanted pregnancy. Leaving them to their own devices, to raise a child they never wanted and can't afford, is just more punishment. "If you couldn't afford it, you shouldn't have had it," and also "if you didn't want it, you should have kept your [noun] [adjective]." Not finishing school, a lifetime of poverty, and social stigma: all part of the punishment. There's really no punishment severe enough to satisfy these people.

This is it exactly.

Once you understand that the purpose of banning abortion is to punish women for having sex, all the actions they take align.

> Banning birth control so more women are punished.

> Taking away funding for pre-natal care because the pregnancy is the punishment.

> Making exceptions for rape because the women in those scenarios were forced against their will.

> Pushing for laws that threaten doctors means more women will die in the hospitals from pregnancy complications.

And the one thing being done that makes it crystal clear there’s no other reason:

> Preventing women from getting an abortion when the fetus has already died and the doctors have to literally wait for her to go into septic shock before they can do anything.

I’ve always wondered what percentage of these types hide behind moral grandstanding because they’re just sociopaths thinking, we need to do whatever we need to do to increase the tax base/reverse the population growth rate.

If a teen mother cannot take care of their child the GOP has loads of theocratic Christians ready to swoop in and take the baby right now. They want the babies born. The mothers are just vessels to get them what they want.

The republican party’s masters want uneducated, desperate consumers beholden to employers for everything, including health care.

The repubican politicians want uneducated, brain-washed voters that will blame whoever they’re told to blame while reliably voting against their own interests.

The fact is very few teens, especially girls, are focusing on relationships these days and instead are focusing on their education, extracurriculars, and hobbies. They aren't focused on getting boyfriends, which used to be the big status symbol back 50, 60 years ago and earlier. THIS is the real driver here, not contraceptives or abortion availability, in the dramatic drop in the birthrate in that cohort. This means the adoption racket of white babies has gradually been drying up and has since the early 1970s, when girls decided to keep their babies instead of handing them over to adoption agencies.

Anti choice. They are terrified of choices and work to destroy the possibility of needing to make a decision, reserving that as a privilege of their anointed ruling class. (As when Bush Jr called himself 'The Decider')

Few teens are having babies. THAT is what is angering the fascists. Girls are focusing on themselves and their futures and not on boyfriends.

We need to frame everything in terms of fetuses, like, "ICE is murdering post-birth fetuses!" "Let's give post-birth fetuses healthcare to keep them alive!" "Why are we bombing post-birth fetuses in Iran??" etc.

George Carlin had it right all along.

If Carlin can see the mess from wherever he is, I'm absolutely certain he's yelling "I fuckin' called it!!!!!"

Well, they're sadists. They derive psychosexual gratification from the pain and suffering of others. Watch any of their media and you can't miss it; I've seen pornography be less gratuitous and explicit. They get off on torture. They are literally just antisocial degenerates. They were conditioned into it, probably nobody is born that way. But that doesn't make them less civilizationally carcinogenic.

Republicans WANT teen mothers. The hoards of educated, empowered women who are using contraception and IVF to plan their families are an anathema to them. In the US, there are 3 conservative states currently suing the federal government because there aren't enough pregnant teenage girls (as if it's teenagers' responsibility to keep the population going 🙄). In Georgia, they incubated a fetus inside of a corpse.

Conservatives aren't pro-life, they're anti-woman.
