It’s totally fine if you believe that life starts at conception.
The thing that actually baffles me are the states that passed anti-abortion laws, but struggle to provide adequate health care, especially for those who are not financially stable.
I found this article, “States with more abortion restrictions have higher maternal and infant mortality”, but feel free to correct or educate me on the topic.

Still, the owners of those private prisons are going to make a killing when all those unwanted kids grow up into unwanted, traumatised adults.
I hate how modern journalism uses phrases to distance us from the harsh reality, like “mortality rates increased” instead of “people killed by government policy”, “officer involved shooting” instead on “murdered by police”, “abortion rights” instead of “human rights”.
It looks bad for the advertisers to use strong words or take a stance.
The only people who buy that lie are the useful idiots they got marching in the streets. The decision makers themselves know very well what they’re doing. Don’t mistake cruelty for ineptitude.

That was a good watch, I can see binary view being at least part of the problem. I did think that religion might be part of the reason for some laws, but somehow didn’t realize how big. And the video had many other good points worth of the watch.
Making money > Everything else. Once we concede that America is hyper capitalist most other problems can be explained.
Not this one. Banning abortion doesn’t gain anyone money, so it’s just pandering to right wing Christians.
Which is a base they need to win the elections. Which they want so they can give out tax breaks… to the rich. And that’s the circle of life.
