The thing that I find hard to wrap my head around with pro forced birth folk is why abortion is the top issue. Gun violence? Meh. Healthcare system screwing over millions? Who cares. Children having to starve due to poverty? Irrelevant. Somehow an unborn's potential life is more important than any of that.

I realistically know that it's because advocating for the unborn is uncomplicated. They have no voice to demand anything and have no past, but it's still hard for me to understand how children stop mattering the moment they are born.

It's also a thinly veiled way to punish women for breaking the "purity culture" these people subscribe to. It goes hand in hand with that.

It's all about punishing slutty sluts that slutted it up and need to face the consequences of their behaviour. Nevermind the fact that a lot of women that get abortions are wives and mothers. Nevermind that most "abortion clinics" are just reproductive health clinics, and the protesters are blocking women from wellness exams, cancer screenings, and treatments for things like UTI or yeast infections.

This is a very important aspect that needs to be talked about. We know that research on women's health is deeply flawed and when you look at how abortion and reproductive health in general is attacked and the health aspect is not even brushed by those who attack it it is clear that this ties to the overarching point of purity culture, control and submission.
