I wonder how much the true motivation for opposing abortion is actually the "today's babies are tomorrow's workers" perspective. Especially for the rich, whose lifestyles depend entirely on a steady stream of poor laborers to clean their toilets and work in their factories.
With that in mind, forcing poor people to have kids and then doing nothing to make parenting easier isn't a bug. It's a feature. It's how we get millions of desperate wage slaves shackled to their low-paying jobs.

Example A:
Because a global population of 8 billion people isn't enough, apparently.

it's probably gonna be the latter. there's inevitably gonna be a point where enough people will say they've had enough, and I think we're approaching it.
there's also the surprisingly large chance that if the republicans get drunk enough on their own power to go full Nazi and start unlawfully ordering the police to round up and imprison/execute American citizens, the military brass and intelligence agencies would stage a coup on whoever's in power and end up with the US military and intelligence agencies fighting the police and the Proud Boys. either way there's gonna be some sort of civil war/revolution/military coup in the next decade or so
Example B:
Poor babies are just 21st century slave stock to rich conservatives. Abortion is like theft to them.

In absolute fairness to the woman (Which I don't want to give), she's just quoting the study she's citing directly on that terminology.
Granted what she's quoting is laughably bad to begin with, since the problem with Adoption isn't a decreased "supply". The problem is it costs too bloody much and agencies are allowed to discriminate instead of getting kids into safe, loving homes.
Again - Pro-Birth not Pro-Life. Because once these kids are born, the Pro-Birth crowd couldn't give a jive.

they want ALL contraceptives gone.
If the poor are too desperate to do anything but toil away under the thumb of capitalism, the rich win.
It's why, barring some seismic political upheaval, we'll never have universal health care or universal basic income in the US: the crony capitalists here won't allow it because they need to keep the rest of us busy fighting over their paltry table scraps.
If the punishment for breaking the law is a fine, then the law is meant for the Poor.
Especially, in the case of health care, when so many of them are rich because of our horrible health care system.
I always wanted the US to have an integrated health system like ours*, but honestly I don’t think that will ever happen either. Without the US splitting into two or more successor nations, which looks increasingly likely. Or at least that seems more likely than the US getting even a very weak, basic healthcare system.
* I still remember watching the episode of The Simpsons where Homer has a heart attack and can’t afford a bypass operation, back in my early teens (whenever the BBC2 belatedly got the rights to the show). That really shaped my political views at that age; until then I didn’t even know of the concept of financial hardship due to medical expenses, having grown up with the British NHS.

Well, to be fair. Here is a female storyteller's analysis of how Carol Danvers was written with her sole defining personality trait "strong FEMALE" compared to Natasha Romanoff who was written as "complex conflicted charater (female)".
I've been thinking back on Steve King's "We can't restore our civilization with someone else's babies" tweet lately...
In 1989, we went to the US on holidays, I was 7 at the time. I head my parents talk about having a million dollars health insurance each, and couldn't quite wrap my head around what we'd need so much money for.
