They need raw material to feed their businesses. Buy and sell babies adoption industry. Bleed workers for labor and political donations. Make money from them.



Bonus thought: * Behind every good libertarian is a massive bank or SBA loan. Because they did it ALL BY THEMSELVES!!

White GOP men are afraid of not being in the majority.

And it's perfectly okay if the babies are female, because it's about to be proven that women are not autonomous beings in the eyes of the government. They're "controllable."

the population. But combined with white women they are still in the majority, but not for long. It's estimated that in about 15 years the nation witll have an all minority population.

Whites will be a plurality but under 50% of the population, and even that plurality will erode every year as their birth rate is lower than POC demographics. This is not well known but the repub PTB know this and it's what's behind, besides the whole power trip over women's bodies that's been there for decades, the heightened anti-abortion push of the last few years.

They know it's going to increasingly hard to hold onto the reins of business, political and cultural power in the nation as their plurality shrinks yearly.

And so are they, that's why they want to turn it around.

The fact that the "others" are increasing and increasing means that the White Male GOPers are afraid of losing more and more of their privilege.

You see, anytime the "others" are guaranteed a right, then the White Male GOPers are somehow losing something.

The White Male GOP is trying to get its privilege back.

The committed (largely white) anti-abortionists are presumably already not getting abortions. If they end abortion there will likely end up being more pro-choice libtards which is what they don't want. Not too smart.

This is related to making an economic system more important than a society or social system

By destroying our shared society and privatizing our public resources, they reduce each of us to economic units, we are turned into raw materials or products in an economic system run and ruled by the few. The few want something for nothing. The want to dump all costs on us-externalizing costs. Thus no healthcare, no childcare, no public education, no libraries, no freedoms, no liberties for us. We become part of the machinery: they run the machinery by giving orders.


Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is only for them

This is why society must come first. We need to be bound together as people with human rights, and our economic system must be a tool which we shape and wield to serve us.

The far right has spent decades trying to destroy our society, and replace it with an economy in which we are things and the only people are the rich.

I always felt something creepy about Tom Delay running an adoption agency placing out of wedlock babies in Christian homes.
Add all the "baby" projection coming from the right and it starts to smell like a fish.

Don’t get that there will be a lot more POC babies born than white kids if R v Wade is overturned. White nationalists want to preserve their idea of a white majority are doing exactly the wrong thing. But you can’t cure stupid.
