    That indicates a desire to boost population growth, not necessarily an ethical objection to abortion - I do think you’re absolutely correct about a fair portion of those politicians and donors but there’s still a large portion that I think are just using the movement for points.

    There would also be more efficient solutions to this problem if that was their primary concern - we’d like see more focused attacks on Loving vs. Virginia if it was specifically racially motivated (rather than “American culture” motivated)… and even then I think the best approach would just be super-charging child tax credits and potentially introducing childless tax penalties.

    I think my original statement was overly simplified, though.

      Or we could simply reform immigration and embrace the notion that America isn’t a white Christian nation.

        That’d be what we’d do if we were sensible - to be clear I don’t endorse any of that racist bullshit I was just explaining that even with racial or cultural weird ideas there are better options than abortion control.

          There’s no need to meet in the middle. It’s an effective solution to birth rate decline and mass migration. People just need to accept that we’re a nation of foreigners.
