    They’re terrified by the birth rate collapsing. They don’t give two rats asses about pro life or morals. They just want workers.

    This was always the reason. Sure, I’m sure there are many politicians who support banning abortion based on morals, but many of them just go with it because their donors and owners told them too. Always, always look past religious reasons, past moral reasons, and find the class reason. It’s always there, but it may be hard to see.

    Again, I’m not saying that there aren’t those whose only motivation is controlling women and being genuinely pro life, but so many of these quacks don’t give two shits about petty things like morals (even from their perspective, I’m pro choice not saying that prolife is the moral thing). The ruling class always has its reasons, and you just gotta find it beyond all of the given reasons

      Why are there some politicians and billionaires that don’t support abortion bans? If there’s always a class reason, do they do it because they’re eugenicists or something? The divide on this issue looks pretty well evenly split in the US, there has to be some class reason for that too right?

      billionaires are tired of paying settlements for mistresses/rapes/etc and allowing legal cases to split up dynastic wealth. Billionaires want what they always want: more control over money.

      They’re not banning anything over birth rates - if they cared about birth rates/population nonsense they’d give people more paid holidays and reduce work related accidents etc. You pass laws to control women so you have more control over women.

      Every US policy from housing to labor to pollution to education, etc is practically designed to decrease birth rates and the billionaires kick and scream when those laws are not being made more oppressive.

      They mask it as concern over “birth rates” because they know its a public concern. To elon musk “birth rates” is is catnip to his hard right audience the same way “humans on mars” was catnip for tech bro enthusiasts with wifi dick cages.
