Is this what they want? Ruined lives? Fucking idiots.
Yes, actually. Conservatism flourishes most when people are suffering, unhealthy and impoverished.
It is a plague in desperate need of a cure.
Yes. The cruelty is the point.
The poor are supposed to be punished via all sorts or laws that keep them poor, for the "crime" of being poor.
Kinda reminds me how in my country - Portugal - during the Fascist Dictatorship abortion was illegal but the daughters of the wealthy (and you could only be wealthy if part of the regime, so these were the very same people who made the laws) could just go next door to Spain to get an abortion whilst the rest (almost all of them, as there was crushing poverty in the country back then) couldn't afford to.
Whilst the outright Evil of the people passing this kind of law is bad, it's the hypocrisy that really makes it trully disgusting.
It’s literally what they want. You think that girl’s going to stand up for herself at work when she’s got a kid at home?
well shit. you nailed it, i was that kid at home and my mother beat the shit out of me to vent her frustrations from the apathy work gave her. what's worse than being abused. seeing those around you foster that abuse because, lol single mother = prey.
god has a plan or whatever
In theory, they want the girl to give up the baby for adoption.
In practice, they instead often end up being shamed to keep it, and so on, and so on...
They want low wage workers. Now they have two, forever.
