So. You mean forcing people who: May not want the child; Have a barely viable fetus; Have health complications; May not be able to afford food; Etc; to go through the entire pregnancy and birth a child, results in a greater number of born children dying? Whodathunk?

I guarantee Republicans thunk, but it's that they simply don't care.

Those babies are born, goddamnit, and it's God's ~~problem~~ plan whether they live or die. I wish that was sarcasm.

I'll make the argument that they neither think nor care. They got their political W and have moved on to some new, bright, shiny fuckery

No, it’s military fodder. Poor people, After all make up most enlisted. Workforce fodder. And people with kids to focus on don’t have time or inclination to riot, protest, punch up, form unions, or go on strike. Children will always be the bigger concern.

That it intersects with the evangelical vote is happy coincidence.

Anymore the military fodder is the happy coincidence, it's the capitalists who need people willing to work hard, for shit wages, and then spend all those wages on rent and food.

Can’t have finding workers getting more competitive.
