Florida’s abortion ban is just one recent outcome of right-wing billionaires’ effort to capture state courts nationwide.
Eh idk about that. They’ve done better in the federal courts. At least in my state and around me, Dems seem to outperform in state courts. For example, PA is purple but the Dems have the state courts locked down now
Magic number on screen must go up
Magic number only goes up if more people buy more stuff
Need more people to buy more stuff
But the increase is coming from people who would otherwise get abortions and now can't, not from people who also think it should be illegal, those people for the most part aren't getting abortions anyway.
Single motherhood tends to be a ticket to poverty and impoverished parents can’t provide kids as much resources to support their education. Poor kids are more likely to have to enter the workforce sooner to provide for basic needs. An abortion might have allowed the parent to have more earnings and stability before raising a kid. Also plenty of anti-abortion activists are hypocrites and will make excuses for why their circumstances merit an abortion while everyone else needs their access blocked. When their kid gets raped by an uncle and can’t get an abortion, they will be left with an extra child care burden too that might have otherwise been negated with a secret abortion.
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.
My guess would be to give you something to look at while they continue to loot and burn the world.
Oh so they do want a war? Billionaires and hectomillionaires against everyone else?
I'm down, when do we start?
