How does this interact with male doctors' right to deny women elective sterilizations based on their hypothetical future husband's desire for a kid?
The women are demonstrating too much intelligence (and independence) by seeking control of their own bodies
The problem with abortion/sterilization isn't that we're "killing babies", it's that a certain group of conservatives don't get the opportunity to spike the football over a woman's stomach when the killings happen.
Like, ask any of those Pro-Life Red State Republicans think of the genocide in Gaza and you'll get a whole litany of "Fuck 'dem kids" and "Those were terrorist infants" and "It's actually antisemitic to mention the leveling of Al-Shifa Hospital". Ask them about the bombings in Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan and you'll get a mixed bag of "We were greeted as liberators" and "That never happened but if it did it was good". FFS, ask them about the kids in cages at the US/Mexico border and you'll get the same response.
The very term "Anchor Baby" should be all you need to hear in order to understand what Americans think of infants.
