    decision to ban abortion, which has no monetary benefit.

    Unwanted children keep people poor, unable to relocate, and desperate for work and validation. Banning abortion has a direct monetary benefit to every red state and most religion, as poor people remain poor and desperate and remain underpaid and overworked and unable to make a change.

    Make no mistake, there is very much a poor-to-pulpit pipeline and ensuring that accidental pregnancies are forced to term keeps that pipeline full.

    I do believe there are some true believers that think an abortion is an Affront To God, but the rest of them are just riding those coattails as an excuse. But there’s always a profit motive. Always. These mfers wouldn’t wipe their own ass if they weren’t skimming tax money for it. It’s always a grift, every single time.

      I’d have to see concrete evidence that banning abortion has led to significant monetary gains for red states before I’ll believe it.
