It’s totally fine if you believe that life starts at conception.
The thing that actually baffles me are the states that passed anti-abortion laws, but struggle to provide adequate health care, especially for those who are not financially stable.

I found this article, “States with more abortion restrictions have higher maternal and infant mortality”, but feel free to correct or educate me on the topic.

Edit: removed “this article” appearing twice and tried to fix preview

    Making money > Everything else. Once we concede that America is hyper capitalist most other problems can be explained.

        Banning abortion doesn’t gain anyone money

        It’s hugely lucrative for religious organizations and their affiliated political donor recipients. Also, creates a rich vein of for-profit adoption centers - particularly religiously affiliated ones - to effectively sell infants to older childless adults in the congregation.

        A bunch of those “You don’t have to choose adoption, there is another way!” billboards are paid for by for-profit adoption groups and their intake organization affiliates.
