NO SHIT Can we finally start accepting that if "pro-life" people really just wanted to protect "babies" that their approach would look COMPLETELY DIFFERENT? Where's the pro-life demand for UBI, FREE prenatal and infant/child medical care, FREE hospital births, affordable childcare programs, etc?

OOPS! Looks like they forgot that completely in their rush to punish people who can get pregnant by forcing them to have a child they don't want, can't afford, or might die in birthing. Even if the pregnant person is a literal child themselves!

helping mothers makes it less likely that they’ll sell their babies to a christian adoption mill, so you can see why’d they think any kind of support is counterproductive.

The point was always the subjugation of (always perceived) women. "pro-life" is one of the most harmful euphemisms the right wing has ever created.

I feel for all the American women having to go through this.

Forcing women to raise and feed a family is how they ensure that we have plenty of cheap labor. You may be willing to put up with less yourself, but you'll work harder for a child. They found it a high motivator to get people to fill minimum wage positions.

In a nutshell. Make this a national ad.

Of course not. The power and cruelty to lord over a woman and her body is the payoff.

Maybe their endgame is to allow such children to be sold into slavery. It seems the way they're going. It only needs some fascist-Christian to start claiming the Jesus didn't condemn slavery. Too pessimistic?
