This was the goal the whole time. Probirth people don't give two shits about babies and children. Expect sexual violence against children and women in that town to sky rocket. Expect the poverty rate to increase as well. Except infant and pregnancy deaths to go up as well.

I would imagine their goal was to enforce their moral code on everyone, regardless of the reality of life. This is the result. I do agree that Republicans don't give two shits about children or women who they don't have emotional investment in. This is a "major issue" they can say they made progress on, since they can't claim they did anything else.
That's a part of it. But ensuring a poor, unhealthy, uneducated, and subservient population is the main goal. Moral codes are just a shield to hide behind as those making these rules are the most corrupt and immoral people in the world. They know emancipation of the working people is the end of suffering and the end of their (white wealthy men) control.
Yeah abortion was considered a weird Catholic issue in Christianity until the religious right was looking for a new bogeyman after their opposition to desegregating private schools became a losing issue.
I have doubts the actual seated Republicans have the brains to have that as a goal. I can believe those politicians have fanatic beliefs and the ends justify the means ideology. I am of the opinion that the think tanks, who they get their talking points and directions from, are pursuing the goals you stated in order to keep power.
Oh you think Republicans created this plan. Nope their wealthy donors are the ones coming up with all this.
They're not pro-birth. Pro-birth is living wages and access to health care.
They're anti-women, forced birthers, and stochastic/social murderers.
Senator Tuberville, currently stiffarming the army's leadership to create a queue for fascist drones to serve dictator trump in the Army on the premise that he's agains the Army's allowing abortions, is the senator from this state.
Doing great work there coach. No wonder you were elected.
Fucking traitors, the lot of them.
Owning the libs by making sure you can't have babies safely. Right on brand for the GQP
The people making these decisions are geriatric, they won't be having any babies themselves. These are people who should be in retirement homes playing bingo instead of ruling the country.
I think that's a little simplistic. Conservatives trend older for sure but the hate they carry isn't going to die with them. It gets passed on, and like sexual abuse it seems some victims will break the cycle while others will continue to perpetuate it. I wish we could just wait them out, it would be easier.
While true, young Republicans believe the same exact shit and vote the same way (some even more extreme). They just want people to suffer.
As with everything Republicans do, the cruelty is the point.
Someone has to be the underclass.
i hate this fucking timeline
It’s okay; those that survive will be excellently demoralized and disposable wage slaves. Sigh.
How much of this is simply due to professionals, including doctors, leaving poorer, more rural areas (rather than to abortion bans)? A poor county in south Alabama isn't where I would choose to live if I had a choice (which doctors do), and whatever bonds motivated people who did live there to return after getting their medical training are apparently fraying...
The notion of not wanting to live in the south as a doctor would apply to doctors 30 years ago as well, yet this sudden loss of OB/GYN's has spiked immediately following the Roe reversal. It seems reasonable that the SCOTUS decision has influenced this loss.
You clearly don't live in the South.
I live in a city, and several gynecology offices have closed down in the past year, including several doctors listed in the r/childfree directory.
Hahahaha REPUBLICANS!!!!!
